Ahh, bug http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11688

I thought this had been fixed! I also seem to remember a longer discussion and an earlier bug report but perhaps I am mistaken. The discussion may have been on the forum.

I rarely handle text that uses spacebefore and spaceafter and so hadn't been hit by this.
Due to changes in the speed of applying styles to text introduced from v6 I had moved to render my text in "pages" so as to not suffer the considerable delays I was experiencing. Thus scrolling my text to display a specific line at the top of a field was no longer required.
BTW the speed penalty in 7 is still there, not as bad but could be better. The issue in 6 had a better improvement. See http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11817 for all the gory details.
