Text Wrap Weirdness with 12.1.2

Am I alone in encountering this problem, or are others running into it, too?

Since updating to 12.1.2, I am encountering text wrapping problems where I get a large gap between two paragraphs. This happens with a picture at the right side of the page and wrapping set to "square." Text wraps correctly except at the bottom edge of the picture, where for some reason the spacing between the two paragraphs adjacent the bottom edge is increased. This is happening on two computers, so I have concluded that it's a glitch in 12.1.2, rather than a problem with either computer.

Sorry, but I'm not seeing anything of the sort here. Can't even force it
with Shadows, Glows, etc. There's no reason why a floating graphic should
effect space between paragraphs or line spacing - it's contained in a
separate "layer" of the document.

Can you provide more detailed specifics about the exact settings for the
graphic as well as the paragraph formatting? Is this in a particular
document, using a specific graphic, or does it happen under a variety of
conditions? Any additional descriptive details would help.

Well, this is strange. It's working fine on my Mac pro. Tomorrow I'll fire up the MacBook Pro again and see if it's working or not.

FWIW, the image is a 600 x 900 pixel PNG at 100 ppi, size set to 33%. Wrapping is "square," aligned to the right. The image is anchored to the first paragraph on the page, which is a Heading 1 style. Remaining paragraphs are Normal style (TNR 12 point, right justified, with a 12 pt space after the paragraph). It is this 12 point space that was showing up screwy on my MacBook Pro — even though the paragraph formatting hadn't changed, the space between the two paragraphs adjacent the bottom edge of the image was about 2 to 3 times the 12 point size.

I'll post a follow-up tomorrow after trying it out on the MBP.

Cheers!

It's possible that the file copy on your MBP is corrupt.

Control/Right-click the image & use Save As Picture to create a new image
file, then remove the original, insert the new one & see what happens.

If that doesn't correct it, select all but the last ¶ then paste into a new
blank document and/or try the other de-corruption methods here:
