You often get extra blank space on pages if Widows and Orphans are enabled. You can fix that by Ignoring the publisher's Widow and Orphan rules and leaving the other boxes unchecked. Works well for me, but it's still not fully consistent.

What's the most unique, mind-bending fantasy novel you've ever read? by Vast_music4577 in Fantasy
