Vertical alignment of events not compact

I use compact view. How do I get the 2nd yellow line vertically aligned to the first?

The reason that the two yellow events are not aligned in because of the text in the first red event (Initial Data Collection). The word “later” ends after the start of the first yellow event, so you wouldn’t be able to place it any higher without the text overlapping.
There isn’t really a way you would be able to get around this. You could manually start add in a line break in the text so that ‘later’ starts on a new line, however this would not guarantee that it works for every zoom level, as different zoom levels would have different alignments with different parts of the text causing the overlapping.
