As background, you probably know this already, but the way the change bars work is that they are actually applied to the text within cells, so that's why the bar itself is the same height as the leading size on the paragraph. The row and table setting for space above/below the text and cell is what breaks up the solid change bar line.

One thing that makes the change bars "separate" is if the table has varying paragraph styles in cells, the height of the change bar depends on whether the change is applied to a larger or a smaller paratag.

Sometimes the separation can be controlled by applying a fixed row height to all the rows, but of course that sometimes can't be accommodated because of the design or content of the table.

Another issue is whether you use column balancing or feathering in the document.

Perhaps other folks will jump in with some advice -- and I'll dig through my archives too, as I know I've come across this problem in the past.
