Section text occurs twice - also below the head.

Post by andyberg »

I get this annoying error in my layout:
section.jpg
section.jpg (10.21 KiB) Viewed 2635 times
This error applies to the section level headings only. Chapter, subsection, etc. work fine. Anyone knows how to fix this?

Nobody can tell that without seeing the code that unleashes this behaviour. So, build a minimal working example (MWE).

Best regards and welcome to the board

I've discovered the error. It was due to my bad use of \renewcommand when changing the header. I wanted to skip the name of the section in the header, and only display the chaptername, as they overlapped.
This works fine:
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{}
