bug in bibliography’s header with biblatex package, memoir?

Post by alexander van loon »

I have created a minimal example here:
http://alexandervanloon.nl/bibliografie.bib (bibliography file for biblatex)
http://alexandervanloon.nl/demonstration.tex (source file)
http://alexandervanloon.nl/demonstration.pdf (resulting PDF document)

As you can see, in the Bibliography chapter the header on the sixth page is no ‘Bibliography’ as it should be, but it’s ‘Introduction’ like in the previous chapter. In the document I’m working on (not the example) I’m seeing the same behavior because it uses the title of the previous chapter as the heading for the Bibliography chapter.

I did some searching on this, and found a workaround:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/s ... 4afb2eaefb
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/s ... 13675975a0
http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive ... 00487.html

While the workaround described there does work in the sense that it allows me to force the header of the Bibliography chapter to the title I specify, it doesn’t work for me because I need the header to be in small capitals. The consequence of specifying the header to be in small capitals is that the title of the chapter in the table of contents will also be typeset in small capitals, but that’s not supposed to happen, everything in the table of contents should be bold text, the default setting. Or the workaround does display it properly in the table of contents, but doesn’t respect that the header should be set in small capitals (last workaround mentioned) Besides that, it’s a dirty hack for doing something which should happen automatically of course.

I upgraded to the latest versions of memoir and biblatex, respectively 3.6g and 1.0, but that didn’t change anything.

Is this also a bug which I should report on the bug tracker for biblatex, or should I report the bug for Memoir? It’s all very confusing.
