WHY still use the wrong line spacing?

Question

There is a paragraph with 3 hello world.

font:arial; font-size:16px; line-height:24px;

So, the height of paragraph is 72px as you can see in the picture, because every simple line is 24px;

In ADOBE XD, I create a same paragraph, font:arial; font-size:16px; line-spacing:24

Then, its height only 65!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know what? it's becaue the line-spacing don't do the same thing as same as line height in web browser, its a stupid ADOBE OWN LINE SPACE SYETEM.

Every time, you only get the wrong result which can't give to delvelopers let them code it.

TWO years ago I reported it, now the stupid useless thing still not fix, because stupid ADOBE team thinks it's not a problem.

I can bet that, adobe team will never fix it, so I suggest everyone just switch to Figma, much better than this s-h-i-t.

That property on Adobe XD is the spacing the top of the top text line and the top of the next line. It isn't line-height, they're different things.

Unfortunately they probably won't add this property cuz the reasons they give everytime when community brings this subject.
