BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ citations out of alignment with main body text

[ther]

Anybody here able to answer this question please? Thanks.

I cannot see the problem. Perhaps if you provided the .bib file as well. Otherwise, we are left to make-up an example bib file, and with the one I made up, everything looked OK.

The bibliography file contained this entry:

@unpublished{test,
author="author one and author two",
month="",
note="",
title="title of the citation",
year="2000"
}

It is very appreciated if you would decide in the future whether to post here on in the G00gle group. Though not forbidden here, crosspostings are always contra-productive thus not very welcome. So you better don't exaggerate. The people in the G00gle group don't know that you are posting here, too. (Perhaps I should tell them and see what they think about that.)

Your problem meanwhile is incomprehensible for me (see attachment).

Code: Select all

\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@unpublished{test,
author="author one and author two",
month="",
note="",
title="title of the citation",
year="2000"
}
\end{filecontents*}
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{book}
\usepackage[round]{natbib}

\begin{document}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, \citep{test}
sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut

\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{\jobname}
\end{document}

The alignment error can be seen in the image attached.

The alignment error can be seen in the image attached.

But this misbehaviour is not produced by the code you provided. So you better work out a minimal working example (MWE) that exactly reproduces the effect and makes it comprehensible to others [1]. Otherwise I'm pessimistic about specific help for your problem. In the picture it seems that the citation is some kind of link. But your example definitely does not show this.

Thank you, your comment about links helped me to investigate the problem and solve. I use the hyperref package which I think I forgot to include in my example. When I added the option 'breaklinks=true' to the package option arguments, the citation reference was aligned correctly with the text.
