I did a bisect with 5f960a1dbbd3ca89573f8b547550792020062c33 as good start. The bisect lead to:

3b6fec38357949da2675dd4524282f1c790eff6e is the first bad commit
commit 3b6fec38357949da2675dd4524282f1c790eff6e

    Do not terminate size switches in front of insets with InheritFont() false
    
    and inherit the size.
    
    This reduces formatting clutter (#8384) in table and fixes some wrongly
    set sizes (#9923, #9285) in tables.
