paragraph spacing effected by image baselineShift ONLY if add a subsequent paragraph

my problem:

i add paragraph inline images set -50% baselineshift appear centered in line.  looks fine, spacing appropriate shift appears between 2 lines when text covers 2 lines within container (each line ended 1 image).

this text in it's own container.

then, add paragraph textflow, set such appearing in it's own container it's own controller.  doing because need able track y values formatting in future (inserting images next specific text containers).

when add second paragraph , container, 2 huge spaces appears, 1 before first line of , 1 between 2 lines of text in paragraph before newly added paragraph.

how subsequent paragraph affecting spacing between lines not share container with... thing share textflow.

 

 

note: in xml below, span same baseline shift image added tlf, not me.  have tried testing scenario add span after image without baseline shift , automatically added span not appear.  this, however, not fix issue.

also, funky symbols in spans result of passing strings <b> , <i> tags create spans.  planning on parsing them out , replacing them formatting in form acceptable tlf, first want work out issue.

 

i think i'm missing how makes sense?

 

textflow traced via exporter before adding next paragraph:

 

<textflow columncount="inherit" columngap="inherit" columnwidth="inherit" linebreak="inherit" paddingbottom="inherit" paddingleft="inherit" paddingright="inherit" paddingtop="inherit" verticalalign="inherit" whitespacecollapse="preserve" xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/textlayout/2008">

  <p>

    <span>ham-burg-er [or] ham-burg</span>

  </p>

  <p>

    <span>sounds like: &lt;b&gt;haem&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;buhr&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; g@r</span>

    <img baselineshift="-50%" height="21.65" width="27.55" source="[object audiobutton]"/>

    <span>[or] &lt;b&gt;haem&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;buhrg&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;</span>

    <img baselineshift="-50%" height="21.65" width="27.55" source="[object audiobutton]"/>

    <span baselineshift="-50%"></span>

  </p>

</textflow>

  <p baselineshift="50%">

    <span>part of speech: noun</span>

  </p>

</textflow>

it looks paragraphs have newlines in them, , since have whitespacecollapse set "preserve" these coming out part of paragraph content causing spacing. expect content this:

<p><span>hello</span></p>

 

instead of this:

<p>

     <span>hello</span>

</p>

 

the latter how database program might choose prettyprint xml, result in whitespace undesired.

 

the baselineshift being applied following text trickier, , (i think) result of tlf applying character format previous paragraph next paragraph when created. work around adding space after graphic no baselineshift applied.

 

does explain you're seeing?
