Sorry I was unclear. What I'm referring to is the spacing between lines
(I was classically trained as a graphic designer, and I always refer to
it as leading)

I do not have the Alt key re-assigned to something else.

I don't usually use the keyboard shortcuts for this task, but I do for
others.

I've included a screengrab showing where I'm having problems. Notice
that the space between lines is stuck at "10.00" The only way I can set
this to the value I want is to click in the "Spacing between letters"
box, and then <shift>+<tab> back to the "Spacing between lines box", and
then input the value I want. This is a workaround that I can use for
now, but I still would like the "Spacing between lines" to work as the
others do.

Thank you very much for your time, and feel free to contact me again if
you need any more info.
