Applying paragraph style affects a different paragraph

I have instances when I apply a paragraph, the following paragraph's spacing is affected. It affects paragraphs with and without overrides.

Has anyone else had this problem? it's not consistent so hard to determine what the cause is.

I'm running on OS High Sierra 10.13.6 and In Design CC 13.0.1

Spacing is an attribute of a paragraph style. You might have space before and or space after. It might be triggered by a keep with attribute. Investigate these, and endeavor to have clean application of mostly just paragraph styles; some character styles; and no unmanaged overrides.

This is still happening, with the new 2019 InDesign. It's definitely nothing in the text, no overrides or anything, however it does also happen when certain overrides are removed.

For instance, while balancing text, I often us a colour override to highlight specific paragraph styles. When I finish my document, and remove the colour, the paragraphs are rebalanced throughout the document, often creating a bunch of random widows.

Changing the colour of text should have no affect whatsoever.
