General ⇒ Fancy Chapter Heading for multi-page LoF

[bjorn victor]

Hi,
I am working on my PhD thesis and have lots of tables and figures in the document. I'm using fncychap with the "Sonny" chapter style and I noticed that the spacing of the two horizontal lines above and below the words "List of Figures" changes when you start a second page of figures. I provided a (not really) MWE for you to reproduce my issue.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{book} %
\usepackage[margin=2.5cm]{geometry} %lmargin=2.5cm,rmargin=4cm,tmargin=3cm,bmargin=3cm

\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,lineno,textcomp,booktabs,url,setspace,color,soul,multirow,listings,setspace}

\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}

\usepackage[Sonny]{fncychap}

\usepackage[titles]{tocloft}

\usepackage[colorlinks,linkcolor=blue,urlcolor=black,citecolor=green]{hyperref} %load hyperref after fncychap
\usepackage[]{cleveref} % load cleveref after hyperref

You will notice four figures with long caption names. The last one is on the second page of the list of figures. You should replace the last long caption with the latter a (or anything else), and you will notice that, as all figures are now on one page, the horizontal lines are closer together and in line with all other titles.

Is this normal behaviour?

Thanks,
Bjorn

Anyone?
I tried contacting the creator of the package directly, but got no reply as well...
Can anyone please confirm if this is still the correct email address: ulf.a.lindgren@ericsson.com?

And can someone at least re-create my issue to exclude any error on my system?
Any help is appreciated.
Bjorn
