Column height Inheritance and text spacing

[blogcraft]

Describe the bug
I noticed 2 issues when I migrated from 2023.6.0 to 2024.3.1

1. It seems there is a problem with how height is trespassed from a parent component to a child in a column.

Example:
When implementing a chart, the canvas receives now a 0 height. So, my chart "dissapears" This happens only in Linux.

So, I had to change the parent container to pass the height directly because now is not "inherited (?)". The container used to have a 170 height, but now I just leave 110 to the chart, the padding has 20x2 and the Label component has internal 20 height.

This used to work fine with previous version. So, I don't know if this is a bug or an intentional change.

2. Also, there is some notable differences in how text is rendered because spacing has dramatically changed.

Before (had better spacing):

After (now seems space above disappeared):

Environment
What version of the library do you use? upgrading from 2023.6.0 to 2024.3.1

What operating system do you use? (OS type, x64 vs x86 vs arm64)
The height inheritance problem only happens in Linux. (tested using WSL and Azure App Service Linux)
The text spacing happens in Windows and Linux

Thank you for finding those problems 😄

Indeed! I identified and fixed the root cause in the 2024.3.2 release. Would you please try it?

I am sorry for this particular problem. The text rendering engine has been rebuilt from the ground up, to achieve better compliance with all standards. Your observation is truly a bug, and is being actively discussed in this thread: #860 (comment)

The root cause is already known, and I am working on the fix.
