I don't think I broke something in this area - at least not on
purpose...

No, time is fine now.

I think there is consensus to switch to Asger's "three box model" for
paragraphs (i.e. first and third box possibly less than full width,
second box full width, additional special case if the whole thing is
less than one line all together.
With the per-paragraph row lists we are actually in pretty good shape
now to tackle this problem.
Having non-rectangular paragraphs/insets would not only mean nicer
insets in paragraphs but opens also the door for neater label handling.
