Table Row Height Intermittent

Using CI3; have addjusted CSS a few times and still have the issue; wondering if its a CI matter.
Issue:  99/100 times, the table header row and first data row heights are consistent with the other rows. All other times, the header row and first data row height is much larger and the data in the last column is at the top of the cell while the other data in other columns are centered. 
Any known issue surrounding this? Any ideas if not a CI matter?
Thanks,

It's a CSS/HTML issue, also depends if one bit of data ('no. of text characters') is much more than the others

It's a CSS/HTML issue, also depends if one bit of data ('no. of text characters') is much more than the others

Hello and thank you. Appreciate the hint...as mentioned, I looked at the CSS/HTML i could think of. Is there anything specific you would look into on CSS/HTML for this?

The # of chars in the header row are static and the suspicious column cell only contains "Total" (fewer than the other characters), and the first data row suspicious column cell is only 7 digits which is same as most other rows. 

Thanks for any further insight you may have.

I can't really test that, can you paste just dummy HTML without any PHP with the issue you are facing.

I will get dummy code for the test. Thanks again.
