Why does the first column in my table always skip a row

It’s very annoying, I have to use every alternate row in all columns just to make things line up. Any advice on how to remedy this, in layman’s terms would be great!!

The font size is the same in all columns so I can’t think what would be causing this.

Please edit the question to indicate your operating system, LO version, and file format being used (ODT, DOC, DOCX).

Please also describe the steps you take to create this table and add content to it. Does only the first column skip a row, or every odd row?
