Affinity Publisher - Two Identical Text Frames Have Different Leadings

[SuperUser]

Hello,

I am experiencing some issues with Affinity Publisher. I have two identical text frames with text. I set leading to 30pt, or 45pt, one looks properly, the other one doesn't change at all, or changes weirdly. What am I missing? Is it a bug or a feature?

 

Thanks.

not sure. I get files that do that sometimes too.

Turn on Show Special Characters and you'll see that you have many Paragraphs on the right and none on the left.

It is a feature.

Even if you do not do that, in the Layers panel if you expand the Layer1 (Layer) to show all of its layers, you can see first pilcrow in the two (Felicia Ruiz) Frame Text layers.

Where can I turn that on?

You can find this option under Text > Show Special Characters
