I can reproduce bug 432021 on Mac if I follow the steps below and choose
"Times New Roman 8". With "Times New Roman 24", the rows overlap each other
instead of underlap.

So 432021 is definitely not Windows-specific. Since I can reproduce that, if
I can fix it then we'll see if it helps 502649 at all.
