Hi
I recently noticed that I get widows and orphans in the bibliography and it seems that \widowpenalty and \clubpenalty do not have any effect on this. Document class seems to be irrelevant. I use memoir in the example in attachment (take a look at pages 9 and 11 for an example of this behaviour), but if you try, e.g., book document class, you'll notice the same (e.g. take a look at pages 3 or 5).
I'll provide a complete example in attachment, with .bib file.
Note: I use pdflatex for compiling the document, TeXLive2009 without any updates yet. I also use apacite package for producing output according to APA style requirements.

Widows and orphans in Bibliography
Tough one, isn't it? 
Just to let you know, I posted the question on comp.text.tex too, so if someone there answers, I'll post it here.

And here it is: adding a small amount like 1pt to item separation seems to solve the problem:
I haven't done any extensive tests, though it seems to be working fine. Thanks to zappathustra at comp.text.tex for the idea.
Code: Select all
\renewcommand{\bibitemsep}{0pt plus 1pt}
