Tikz Matrix: Nodes are not 'in-a-row'?

I am using a matrix for node-positioning with a fixed node witdh.
However, as some nodes contaning more than one line of text some nodes are shifted in y-axis and I don't know why or how to fix this. There seems to be enough space inside the node in y-axis. I also connected some nodes which result in an ugly picture.

MWE which shows this behaviour:

documentclass[tikz]standalone
usetikzlibrarymatrix,fit
begindocument
begintikzpicture
matrix (m) [%
matrix of nodes,%
nodes in empty cells,%
nodes=rectangle, draw ,align=center,minimum height=1.5cm, text width=3.5cm,font=scriptsize, inner sep= 0cm, outer sep= 0cm, fill=white,%
column sep=.5cm,%
row sep=.5cm,%
anchor=center
]%

&Two\line\breaks&One line&& \
One\linebreak&&&& \
&&&Two\line\break& \
&&One&& \
;
foreach row/rownext in 1/2,2/3,3/4,4/4

 foreach col/colnext in 1/2,2/3,3/4,4/5,5/5
 
 draw(m-row-col) to (m-row-colnext);
 draw(m-row-col) to (m-rownext-col);
 

endtikzpicture
enddocument

You only need to add anchor=center to the nodes. You only added this option to the matrix (node), not to the nodes within the matrix.

documentclass[tikz]standalone
usetikzlibrarymatrix,fit
begindocument
begintikzpicture
matrix (m) [%
matrix of nodes,%
nodes in empty cells,%
nodes=rectangle, draw ,align=center,minimum height=1.5cm, text
width=3.5cm,font=scriptsize, inner sep= 0cm, outer sep= 0cm,
fill=white,anchor=center,%
column sep=.5cm,%
row sep=.5cm,%
anchor=center
]%

& Two\ line \breaks & One line && \
One\linebreak&&&& \
&&&Two\line\breaks& \
&&One&& \
;
foreach row/rownext in 1/2,2/3,3/4,4/4

 foreach col/colnext in 1/2,2/3,3/4,4/5,5/5
 
 draw(m-row-col) to (m-row-colnext);
 draw(m-row-col) to (m-rownext-col);
 

endtikzpicture

The problem here is different from the one you pointed. The use of matrix of nodes changes node's anchor to base which means than empty cells and nodes with text will align on their base anchor, not through the center. Loop Space explained to me also long time ago ;-).
