This is not a bug. The reason the system increased so much is simply that the last system was right on the edge of not fitting on the page and all it took was that slight increase in text size to push it over the edge. This sort of thing happens all the time and is to be expected - some changes increase spacing and a system won't fit anymore to it moves to the next page and then the rest of the systems respace.

It is also perfectly normal that the last system doesn't move back to the first page until you undo both the change of the font size of that one element and the set as style, since the set as style also made other text elements bigger and also cause the last system to no longer fit.
