Superficially it is simply that the embedded line is drawn with the
wrong offset from the baseline.  As far as I can see, in all other
respects (e.g. the re-positioning of the baseline and adjoining text)
it appears to be OK. I am aware, however, that appearances can be
deceptive!


If I'm understanding this properly, the error can be corrected by
selecting the line, then,

Menu => Text => Modify text... => Set V shift to -50% => Click 'OK'

Evan.
Unfortunately no! Ovation *thinks* it has drawn the embedded object where it should have done. If you move the object down, it still *thinks* that it is 50% of the line thickness below where it's really drawn it so the line of text jumps back up and the embedded line still goes outside the box.
For the pedants, I know it doesn't think. Saying that it does avoids the need for me to do it!
