Leading forces page break?

Hi all,
I have a text frame that insists on adding a page break when I pass a leading threshold. I'm not at all sure the leading is what's doing it, but I've scoured the rest of my paragraph settings and it's the only option that seems to trigger the break.

First half is the issue, second half is all my settings.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

You've been bitten by one of ID's most egregious UI flaws.

 

Set that "keep with next [2] lines" to zero. It's an active element by itself, not dependent on the checkbox above even though the menu structure, and indent, seem to indicate.

I'd suspect the text below, with the orange margin bar, is set to "keep together" — so when your spacing increase above pushes a line to the next frame, the whole block goes.

 

Look under Keep Options for the orange-bar text, and adjust things so that they fit and keep together as needed.

Thanks for weighing in, James. Unfortunately, that's not it.

So will that orange-bar text break across frames, or does it insist on staying together? Experiment.
