Hi,
see more details on this issue at InDesign UserVoice and vote for fixing the problem:
Running head containing forced line break inserts space incorrectly
Anonymous, September 05, 2019
FWIW: Don't think that the behavior with text variables was different in previous versions of InDesign.

take a look also in this thread from april 2020 maybe could be helpful
Hi rasmussvanejensen,
the workaround would be to have no line breaks.
If you need a line break do it without a line break special character.
Two examples below:
[1] A very wide white space applied by a character style.
[2] Use text wrap.

That's standard behavior for Text Variables. What specifically are you trying to accomplish? They may be a way to work around that limitation, depending on what you're trying to do.

Is it by design? It feels like a bug 🙂

Hi Uwe.
Thanks for the work around – Looks like I will have to use a MacGyver solution for now.
