Line height: should function as it does on the web
On the web, i often use line height to determin the height of the types container. Therefore the text should sit vertically centrally to its line height. This is different to how line height works in print.
I also use line height for vertical rhythm. see more info on this here:

vertical rhythm is a huge factor when I design for web

It's very important to replicate CSS line-height for better collaboration with developers.

this is killing me right now. It makes me angry that I can't have vertical rhythm

Come on guys, this is way more important than some prototyping stuff or whatever. I want to switch to Adobe XD, but I can't setup a proper document with a 8pt grid without setting a simple line-height.

Dear team, has this bug fix even made it to the backlog yet? Fixing this is so important! I don't know how to explain to the developers what my design would look like when live because the line height specified and rendered in my design completely differs from the line height that they have to use when they are implementing it.

This deserves a bump. Single line text is completely worthless right now.

"line-height is currently implemented incorrectly. This will be fixed in a future release. For now, avoid line-height." (source: https://adobexdplatform.com/plugin-docs/known-issues.html)

Does anyone want to make this a plugin?

Yeah. Can't recommend to a major client because of this. Design specs are incorrect because of this issue.

This should be the default. Maybe with an option to switch to top align (as is)

It's ridiculous that a program made for designing digital products is using print line height.
