I got some tables in a documents. If the content inside the table fits inside one page, the spacing between lines and table arrangement are usual. However, if the content is longer, the two table will swap positions and the spacing between other lines widen.

Please check the code here https://github.com/kychanbp/HSF-Forms-Generation

Under template --> form b.

A normal one page document

Two page document: table order changed. Sometimes, spacing changed too

How can I fix it?

You are using environment table which has the ability to float. If the table fits not on the rest of the free page it simply floats to the next page.

To avoid this simply do not use table.

Remember to break manually the table into two parts if it gets longer than one page ...

To get no different spacing between the lines of your document please add command raggedbottom to the preamble.

So with the following complete MWE (see marking <====== for important code changings):

Comments and Observations newline From ET: & Insufficient AIS data was recorded. The AIS signals could not be received which might due to interference effect. Based on available AIS data, the speed and route of vessel could not be analyzed whether it had any deviation within the Speed Control Zone (SCZ). Vessel captain has provided the AIS plots which indicated the vessel entered the SCZ though the gate access point and no speeding in the SCZ was observed. Ferry operator should investigate the reason for the AIS failure and check the AIS system to ensure that sufficient data points can be received. \ hline
