Possible 'bug' in natbib package

Post by php1ic »

For writing my thesis, I have copied report.cls and made some modification to do what I want. One of them is to make it so when the bibliography goes onto the second page, "Bibliography" not "BIBLIOGRAPHY" is written in my fancy header. I altered line 670 from

Code: Select all

\@mkboth{\MakeUppercase\bibname}{\MakeUppercase\bibname}
to

Code: Select all

\@mkboth{\MakeUppercase\bibname}{\bibname}
However, if I include the natbib package, this is undone (I assume) by line 697 which redefines \bibname.

Code: Select all

\@mkboth{\MakeUppercase{\bibname}}{\MakeUppercase{\bibname}}}}}
Is this classed as a bug and should I inform the relevant people? Or, as I now use a non-standard class, is it not a bug?

For me a bug is a malfunction which causes severe problems. This is just a misbehaviour that contradicts your ideas. I would contact the maintainers of the natbib package. Perhaps they can offer a workaround.

I thought that bug was too strong a word for the problem I am having. Perhaps conflict is a better way of describing it :)

Thanks for the link, I'll contact the maintainers to let them know.
