Avoid blank space after chapters
It does work perfectly in a fresh copy of the template. So something in my version is blocking it.
I didn't change anything in the class-file, so it has to be something in the preamble.

Perhaps compare, to find the difference. Or post a compilable code that doesn't work as expected, otherwise it's hardly possible to tell what's going on.

Both are near identical, the difference is in some added packages. I am amazed by how difficult it is to remove the blank space

The explanation is usually simple.
Just that the difference is in some added packages is not enough information for me.
I need to know what is different. Or what is the complete case in your code.

Do you mind if I post my preamble here (again)?

Ok, i gotta ask once again. Are the list of figures and list of tables on the same page? Is there a page break? There clearly is a break after the table of contents, since you explicitely asked for that.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Yes, it works for the contents / lof / lot, I added a pagebreak to avoid overlap here.
After that, it didn't work anymore.

You are far from specific. Please upload a pdf or log file or something that is not a description of you.
