kwrite question

[joe at actionline.com]

When I cut and paste from google search results
(and some other places) into kwrite, some lines
are "scrunched" (i.e. not the full height of the
text/font, so characters, especially numbers are
difficult to read.

I've not been able to figure out why this happens
or how to "clear" the hidden coding that causes this.

I've tried cutting and pasting the same text into
libre mail and the text then looks okay, but if I
cut and paste it back into kwrite, the same display
problem appears. Strange.

Any suggestions to clear whatever hidden coding
is causing this?
