Yesterday I noticed that line spacing in questions & answers is bigger than before, something like 1.5

enter image description here

Is there some global change, or is it a bug? Or maybe I do have a bug or something? Can I control line spacing on the site in some easy way? Not that it is intolerable but still it would be good to know if I can change it.

    $\begingroup$ @LSpice Richard Stallman said that Facebook doesn't have "users", but only "useds". Is StackOverflow moving in the same direction? $\endgroup$

You're right, line spacing has been increased, as mentioned here on Meta Stack Exchange: New post formatting

Many people don't like the change, and posts like Please revert the line-height change! and this answer are very popular right now. Stack Exchange has already reduced the line-height a bit from their original intention.

There is no setting in your profile to turn it back to the old style, but somebody already wrote a userscript (some kind of browser extension) which does.
