Problem:
When TextFlow has non-zero lineSpacing property set, preferred height calculation does not include the line spacing amount for the last line (see the screenshot and notice zero space between "line four" and "Next Component...").
While this looks like a bug in the context of rich text area where multiple TextFlows are stacked vertically, the workaround is to simply add the lineSpacing amount to the height of each paragraph which is fairly trivial. Another argument might be to treat the lineSpacing similarly to how whitespace is treated when wrapping text (we don't want to have leading or trailing whitespace there, seeJDK-8314215 for example).
The main reason for this ticket is to initiate a discussion.
