Beyond the Basics Text Baseline Snapping and Spacing

    I'm trying to set up a grid system based on text baselines in Inkscape and I've encountered 2 issues:

    1. When I set the distance between text baselines to a value and then create a page grid with the same vertical spacing the distance between text baselines for multiline text is ever so slightly greater than the grid spacing which makes the layout fail.

    2. When I try and use text baseline snapping to create a rectangle height the exact distance between 2 text baselines the snapping only works for the top line of text and not for subsequent lines.

    Is what I am trying to achieve possible?

    Line returns seem to space on the grid here:
