spacing issue with kubrick theme

If by “seems to screw with the spacing for the text on the line above/below it” you mean how the text spacing seems to expand across the comment area, that’s because the theme *justifies* the comment text to align along the left and right margins. Any long line of text that goes over the right margin will flow to the next line and sort of drag everything along with it, due to it still being part of the previous line (or more technically, the paragraph).

One way around this is to change this in your css:

.commentlist {
padding: 0;
text-align: justify;
}

to:

.commentlist {
padding: 0;
text-align: left;
}

Another is to hit the Enter key before typing in a long line of text. :)
