Wandering text across columns when using decimals in line height or space after

Community Beginner ,

A colleague was working on a calendar and when I checked I noticed something strange, the text was slowly wandering up a little by little with every column you go to the right. I created a new file to figure out what was wrong and te same thing happened. Anyone have an idea what is going on here, apparently you can only use whole points for vertically spacing text otherwise this happens?

Tried different Indesign versions 19.x and 20.x and fonts. The only thing that fixes it, is either using whole points for all values or create outlines, then the alignement is fixed.

 

I added an Indesign file with a generic font so you can replicate what happens.Dates_Wandering.png

Then maybe a fix could be to switch it on in the PDF-X presets that come with Indesign in future versions?
