For some lists (blue arrows) there is no vertical space between list indent lvl 1 and indent lvl 2, while for other lists, which are constructed the same (from what i could see at least) there is a `~0.7` of a row of vertical space.

I have tried to have the same indentation for the whole document:

```plaintext
- indent lvl 1, "-" is at column 1
  - indent lvl 2, "-" is at column 3 (there are 2 spaces before the "-")
    - indent lvl 3, "-" is at column 5 (there are 2*2 spaces before the "-")

```
