Hi all,
During the development of [new features in vtkMatplotlibMathTextUtilities](https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/merge_requests/7458) (support for multilines and multicolumns in text representation), we noticed that the **LineSpacing** property of _vtkTextProperty_ was defaulted to 1.1, and not 1.0 as it should be. We [included a commit](https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/commit/5cbd5bfe053d4e8945259be1cd2687eba225fd79) to change the default to 1.0.
We updated the impacted baseline, but please notice that this will change the aspect of the rendering of every multiline text. Just set **vtkTextProperty::LineSpacing** to **1.1** to have old defaulted behavior.
