[libreoffice-users] Row height in Writer tables

This is driving me nuts.

LO 7.0.2.2 on Xubuntu 20.04, up to date.

I have two tables in a Writer document, each with about 25 rows. After
hours spent poking at dozens of different settings I finally got one of
them with 16 point rows, but after applying all the same settings to
the second one the text is still squished. I'm finding tables to be
hopelessly unintuitive.

You have Size > Row Height, you have Paragraph > Leading, you have
Boundaries > Padding, and probably several more that I have fiddled
with. And some of these don't even work - I applied Paragraph > Leading,
where the drop-down had nothing in it and the point size box said 100%,
so I changed it to Fixed and 16 points, and applied it. When I went
back to Paragraph > Leading it was back to nothing in the drop-down and
100% for the point size. No error messages, it just failed to take my
settings. What the heck?

I need a way to make every row a specific point size that always 'just
works.' Is that possible?
