I could confirm in Android, This line gaps when set x4.9 line spacing

The attempted fix in 1.21.40.20 added an extra 0.3 pixels to each message:

While this looks alright with some line spacing settings, others show gaps.

While messing around with the hud_screen.json file to attempt a more precise fix, I found a specific setting (0.14px) shows overlap at 4.9x line spacing and gaps at 4.0x line spacing.

This indicates the gap/overlap issues cannot be fixed just by tweaking the JSON UI. The underlying chat message stack renderer must be improved to not misalign messages.
