General ⇒ subsection problem, length of text influences spacing

[mararie]

hi! i'm writing my thesis and have a problem with just one of my subsections. if i make the subsection too long, the spacing between paragraphs and sections after this subsection doubles, which is, of course, extremely ugly. if i delete just one paragraph of the subsection (and it doesn't matter which one), the spacing is normal again, which made me think it is the length of the paragraph, but it is strange that my document contains other subsections that are much longer and have more paragraphs than this specific one.
i cannot fix this problem and i have no clue why latex reacts like this. the problem is not the text itself; when i change the text of the paragraph, i still have the same problem. when i delete the paragraph, the spacing is normal.
can someone give me a hint on how to fix this, or does anybody have (had) the same problem?
thanks, mararie

Can you please post a minimal working example showing this undesired behaviour?

hej, thanks for your reply!
when i made a minimal working example, i figured out what the problem was: i had to reset the spacing in the document (i declared onehalfspacing before the start of the document, but i made a title page and table of contents in single spacing). now everything works fine again. see you! mararie

update:
my 'problem' was caused by the report default \flushbottom.
i use \ragbottom now, as is described in this topic: http://www.latex-community.org/viewtopi ... cing#p5934
this works for me. see you!
