Now and then the font size and the space above change to "normal" values (font size 10 pt and space above 110 pt). As a consequence the info icon moves down by 6 cm. I didn't pay much attention to this problem yet. I have the feeling that this happens when I hide/show conditions.

Good question. Sadly in the single most recent instance I corrected it by reapplying the paragraph tag as soon as I'd checked that <ctrl>-L didn't do so. Next time it happens, I'll run forensics on the para tags involved to see if anything's changed, and if so, what. Thanks for the tip.

If font sizes are changing at random in para tags, though, why don't we notice such an apparently gross problem elsewhere? If this is happening, maybe its's something specifically to do with para tags in association with reference frames?

(You are perhaps a native German speaker, Winfried? Your use of 'eventually' suggests it, matching the German word 'Eventuell'.)
