[Tex/LaTex] figure overrides linespacing

floatsline-spacingsetspace

I am using framed package to draw a box around some texts. When I compile it without wrapping it up in the figure command I have no problem. However, when I use it like this: 

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
\usepackage{setspace} % for switching between double/single space in document‎
\usepackage{framed}‎‎
\usepackage[top=3cm,right=3cm,bottom=2.5cm,left=2.5cm]{geometry}‎

\doublespacing‎‎

\begin{document}‎
this is a line

this is a line

\begin{figure}‎
\begin{framed}
this is a line

this is another line
\end{‎framed}‎‎
\caption[figure1]‎{description for figure1}‎‎‎
\label{Fig_1}‎‎ %for Lockstep point!see the comments!  
\end{figure}

\end{document}‎

the linespacing reverts to default (see the attached image). Am I missing something?
BTW, I have seen Post1 and Post2, still no clue. If it is important why I used framed, I must mention that when using double spacing, the text spans more than 1 page and framed does a nice job.

Best Answer

The setspace package patches floating environments, footnotes etc. to be single-spaced. Unfortunately there is no package option to suppress that, so if you don't like your float single-spaced as default, insert the following code immediately after loading of the setspace package:

\usepackage[...]{setspace}
\makeatletter
\let\@xfloat=\latex@xfloat % revert setspace patch of floating environments
\makeatother

But please note that this will increase the vertical distance between figure body and figure caption, too. (And make the captions double-spaced as well.) If you don't like this, forget about the code above and better use \doublespacing inside your framed environments.
