One suggestion:
If you go to Preferences -> Look & Feel -> Display -> Mark end of paragraphs, You can see your paragraph ends signs. If there is paragraph end, this generates a space between your figures, equations and text etc … Extra space may not be always due to new paragraph, but worth to try….

If the float is positioned in a different place, the spacing is as it should be. I have reported this as a bug. Regards Frank Salter
