Default
What it appears you're adjusting is the paragraph before/after spacing; it has no effect on the line spacing within a paragraph. The paragraph before/after spacing is ordinarily used to generate the desired white-space between paragraphs and the effects are cumulative (though the 'Don't add space between paragraphs of the same Style' option can be used to eliminate the before/after spacing under that condition.

If you want double spacing within a paragraph, use the line-spacing options.
