LyX adding gaps between paragraphs and text
I am having a similar problem with large gaps between paragraphs. I tried the \raggedbottom command in my preamble but the issue still persists. Specifically, the problem is with the biographies at the end of my paper (see attachment). I have also attached my lyx info. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated!!!

LyX adding gaps between paragraphs and text
This environment separator --- Separate Environment --- could be the cause. The definition depends on the style you are using. Perhaps post a reduced copy of your LyX file here, as attachment, as small as possible but still working so that we could see the problem. Once we can see it, we can fix it.

PS: please post new question as a new topic, don't attach to older topics, so that people can see your question. Not everybody opens old and solved topics again. I will split this topic later, you can always find your posts via "View your posts" on the right sidebar.

Re: LyX adding gaps between paragraphs and text
Those are separator environments that I had to add in order to get each coauthor to have their own biography section. Without the separators, all of their biographies are lumped together and formatted as one biography. I am using the IEEEtran format for my document. And sorry about the previous post, first time posting.
Re: LyX adding gaps between paragraphs and text
I added the TeX code \vfill after my last paragraph and it made it look okay. But there are still gaps that are a little larger than I would prefer. Is there a way to modify the separator environment?

Re: LyX adding gaps between paragraphs and text
If you would post a small LyX example, which shows the situation, as an attachment, perhaps a reader would verify the problem and suggest a fix. Without seeing your code it's kind of guesswork. Perhaps not everybody takes a IEEEtran template, tries to stage your situation for reproducing it to be able to fix it, just because you did not post the code.

Re: LyX adding gaps between paragraphs and text
I posted the .pdf output and the section of my .LyX file that contains the biographies in a previous comment on this thread. I'm not sure what more you want me to post.
Re: LyX adding gaps between paragraphs and text
Here's a .LyX file based off of the IEEEtran template that demonstrates my problem with the large gaps between coauthors in the biography section.
