  • I can't reproduce the problem of OP nor in your answer see any difference in vertical space between rule and figure if % is follows rule or not. This distance in real circumstances are not fixed, they depends on page contents. As we know, LaTeX can stretch all vertical distances between paragraphs on page to fit content in it.

  • The difference occurs if you remove \linegobble. Commented Jan 4, 2016 at 2:18
  • Yes and now: if you comment all \linegobble in MWE and % after first rule (simulation text?), the distances are the same at both pictures. I think, that more realistic result youcan be shown by use some dummy text instead of those lines, for example with \lipsum. I think, that it is important that in all cases is used the same way of inserting figures. Of course, if after figures start new paragraph, distance between it and figure can different from distances, when figure is in the middle of paragraph. I believe, that this is intentionally, isn't it? Commented Jan 4, 2016 at 2:30
  • @Zarko - As the op said, the problem only occurs when the last line just barely fits, which is easy to simulate with \rule. Commented Jan 4, 2016 at 2:36
