Open the attached file in both MS 2.3.2 and MS 3.x. The line spaces have disappeared between verses: all except one.

I can reproduce in this example but not from scratch. The blank line, BTW, is there, it is just smaller than it should be. My guess is there is an OS-dependency here, the different ways that different OS's represent line endings. Could be that blank lines inserted on one OS don't look correct when read on another, but I don't have a good way of testing that theory.
Result (unexpected): A full-sized line space is created. For some reason you need to add a character to the line to make it full-sized, whereas in MS2 a Return was sufficient.
Again, Enter is sufficient for me too in current builds. Something seems very special about this particular score, and as I said, I suspect it's a difference in how line endings are represented between OS's. Looks like the original score was created on Linux but you are now editing on Windows?
The attached score was entered from scratch in MS 2.3.2 in Win 10. Exactly the same result.
Curious. Still not sure then why it works sometimes but not always.
Open the attached file, put the cursor just before the text "Verse 2" and press RETURN. Then continue to press RETURN. Then Esc.
Expected result: One text line after another.
Actual result: The first line is normal, but on each subsequent RETURN a blank reduced-height line is created.
Reset the file. Put the cursor before "Verse 2" and press RETURN.
Result: A blank line of the correct height.
Expected result: No change.
Actual result: The line-height shrinks unexpectedly.
But again, it works fine for me in other cases. So we still need to understand foolproof steps to reproduce.
This issue connects with #291402: Text edit mode: newline character can't be removed by Delete.
Related to #272131: [EPIC] Text editing issues.
FWIW, I can now reproduce from scratch on Windows 10: blank lines inserted into a text frame initially show full size but become much smaller when editing is completed.

I encounter this regularly on the Mac, but never thought it was worth complaining about. I always "heard" it as a little voice telling me to make another text block.
Reported again in #301469: Blank lines in frame text occupy less vertical space than other lines (by me)
