I am looking for a solution for the following problem:
I use BibLaTeX to print bibliography in a Beamer presentation. Some of the bibliography items contain ordinals in superscript (generated by \nth{‹number›} command of package nth loaded with option super).
The bibliography in question uses font size tiny for its items (\renewcommand*{\bibfont}{\tiny}).
With this font size, vertical space above bibliography lines containing the superscripts are visibly extended. It is probably a result of asserting equal distances between the extremes of the text lines.
Nevertheless, I prefer to have equal vertical spacing in the bibliography text. How can I avoid these extra vertical spaces while maintaining desired font size and superscript ordinals?
MWE:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\defbeamertemplate*{bibliography item}{my text}
{\hfill\insertbiblabel \hss}
%\usepackage{filecontents}% No longer needed on recent distributions, as its functionality has been moved into LaTeX kernel.
%\begin{filecontents}[overwrite]{Bibliography.bib}
\begin{filecontents}{Bibliography.bib}

booktitle = {Proceedings of~Test Book Title Abcd Efgh Test Title},
