Text Formatting ⇒ setstretch and a blank line

[vita001]

Hi, I notice that setstretch only works when there is a blank line following the paragraph. In the following example, setstretch has no effect if we delete the blank line above setstretch{1}. Why it is so?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[compress]{beamer}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{setspace}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[t]{blablabla}
\setstretch{1.667}
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla

\setstretch{1}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Hi,

the blank line is a paragraph break. You could remove the blank line and add \par instead to see that it works without the blank line. The stretch is for the paragraph. If you call \setstretch{1} before the paragraph break (by the blank line), it changes again the stretch value of the paragraph.
