Extra space before the first row of an array

Question

Why is there so much space before my array's first row? How can I fix it (as I don't believe that this is its default behaviour)?

enter image description here

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\usepackage{parskip}

\setlength{\parindent}{0cm}

\usepackage{fontspec}

\usepackage[english,greek]{babel}

\usepackage[fleqn]{amsmath}

\usepackage{unicode-math}

\setmainfont

  Extension=.otf,

\setsansfont[Mapping=tex-text]{GFSArtemisia.otf}

\setmathfont{latinmodern-math.otf}

\setmathfont[range=\varnothing]{Asana-Math.otf}

\setmathfont[range=\int]{latinmodern-math.otf}

Using your code, I don't get the extra spacing (using TeX Live2014). — Gonzalo Medina, Jan 29 '15 at 19:44
I tested your example with lualtex and xelatex (texlive 2014) and got no space with either — David Carlisle, Jan 29 '15 at 19:45
@DavidCarlisle I use xelatex too. In mine it appears for sure as I printed a paper with an array that had the same problem. Except the image :p — Adam, Jan 29 '15 at 19:49
add \listfiles to your preamble and then add the list that appears at the end of the log file to your question then people can see the version of all packages used — David Carlisle, Jan 29 '15 at 19:53
Install Vanilla TeX Live. http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/1092/27635 — karlkoeller, Jan 29 '15 at 20:23
@karlkoeller Thanks, do I need to uninstall my current version? — Adam, Jan 29 '15 at 20:26
@karlkoeller I have updated my TeX distribution and everything is exactly the same regarding the table... — Adam, Mar 11 '15 at 20:28
Could you please minimize your code if all the fonts are not needed here? Does the problem still persist? — LaRiFaRi, May 19 '15 at 08:22

The problem is only reproducible if

\usepackage{setspace}
\doublespacing

is added.

Add also

\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{0.6}
