Reducing the space between the legends for the LineLegend?

Hello, Is there any way to control the spacing between each legend in the legend box? Previously there seemed to be an option "Spacings" to specify the blank region between each legend, now I am using version 12, where the option is removed. So what are the alternative approach to realize this control of spacings? I attached a notebook for illustration, where I would like to reduce the spacing between the legends in the box "t", "t^2" and "sin[t]", but leave the size of the lines and text unchanged.

Hi Haolin, I am unable to reproduce the problem on "13.0.1 for Mac OS X ARM (64-bit) (January 28, 2022)". So perhaps it is a bug in v12. As a workaround, the `Spacings` option does work even though it is not documented and is highlighted as an error in the front end. Try this Plot[{t, t^2, Sin[t]}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotRange -> All, PlotPoints -> 10, Frame -> True, FrameStyle -> Thick, Axes -> {True, False}, PlotLegends -> Placed[ LineLegend[{"t", "\!\(\SuperscriptBox[\(t\), \(2\)]\)", "Sin[t]"}, LegendFunction -> "Frame", LegendLayout -> "Column", Spacings -> 0.1], {{0.3, 0.9}, {1, 1}}], GridLines -> {Pi#/4 & /@ Range[0, 4], Automatic}, BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 15, FontFamily -> "Times New Roman", Thick}, PlotStyle -> {{Thickness[0.005], Dotted, Cyan}, {Thickness[0.005], Dashed}, {Thickness[0.005]}}, ImageSize -> 500]

Hi Haolin,

Plot[{t, t^2, Sin[t]}, {t, 0, Pi},
 PlotRange -> All,
 PlotPoints -> 10,
 Frame -> True,
 FrameStyle -> Thick,
 Axes -> {True, False}, 
 PlotLegends -> 
  Placed[
   LineLegend[{"t", "\!\(\*SuperscriptBox[\(t\), \(2\)]\)", "Sin[t]"},
     LegendFunction -> "Frame", 
     LegendLayout -> "Column", 
     Spacings -> 0.1], {{0.3, 0.9}, {1, 1}}], 
 GridLines -> {Pi*#/4 & /@ Range[0, 4], Automatic}, 
 BaseStyle -> {FontSize -> 15, FontFamily -> "Times New Roman", Thick}, 
 PlotStyle -> {{Thickness[0.005], Dotted, Cyan}, {Thickness[0.005], Dashed},
   {Thickness[0.005]}},
 ImageSize -> 500]
