I'm not sure, this is a bug. The first of your frames has the font size=60pt and leading=72pt. The second, chained frame has the font size =12pt and leading=14.4pt. The text in the second frame has the font size=60pt and leading=14.4pt. It seems that you have to change the text properties of the second frame before chaining it to the first frame.

IMHO this is a bug. If the font size changes across text frames, but leading doesn't, it's hard to change text properties for one text (without styles) in linked frames. Changing text properties in a _frame_ that is linked to others should affect the whole _text_, not text in a single frame.

BTW, I tried with another document, and in this case, the spacing between letters was messed up (smaller than in the first frame). This was in 1.3.3.1. So there's something wrong.
