Setting first line ascent to "font ascent" seems to resolve the problem. At least in column layout.

There's workaround for this: define character style for drop caps and reduce letter width and height by same amount there. 85% works flawlessly for me. It's also possible to adjust vertical position, so all controls are possible. But still default drop-caps letter size should be smaller.

The method for computing drop cap size has been changed so that adding/removing a drop cap to a paragraph will not modify the text baseline anymore. Due to how default first line offset works, it is however still best for multi-column layout to use "font ascent" as first line offset.

Drop caps style is always assigned, even if I use NoStyle it's switched into Default. Qestion here: is it possible to allow NoStyle, so just paragraph style is used do drop caps and no character style is assigned to drop caps character?
