The cell contents are too low. How to adjust that? How to increase the row height? Help says:
Changing the Height of a Row
To change the height of a row, place the cursor in a cell in the row, hold down the Alt key, and then press the up or the down arrow key.

Alt Down works fine here to increase the Row Height.

You can also set it precisely from the Table menu, Autofit, Row Height, or drag individual rows.
