iText v9.1.0 seems to have a problem with Paragraph leading.

I expect leading to insert space between the previous Paragraph & the current one.
(I guess it could also be interpreted as between the current Paragraph & the next one, which would seem counter-intuitive, but either before or after & certainly not both)

But with new Paragraph().setFixedLeading(188) I am getting a large spacing both before and after the Paragraph.

In the following example, I would expect the Detail line to follow the Subject line with just a little gap, but that is not the case.

Please find below the Source code & some sample output.
