Point character in cell content moves rest of content

Post by hark »

Hello,
When I write multiple sentences as the content of a table cell, all text after the first point character is rendered in the next row of the same column.

I am using Lyx and have a set tablewidth(100% linewidth), and columnwidths(%'s linewidth). Text with only a point character at the end is wrapped correctly.

Can anybody help me solve this issue? Many thanks in advance.

Hi hark,

Welcome to the LaTeX community.

Please post a Infominimal working example (MWE), i.e. a mini file starting with \documentclass and ending with \end{document} (~10-20 lines), that let's reproduce the issue. Otherwise it will be hard to give any advice.

What a great way to make yourself feel(and look) stupid.
After making an example I noticed the problem did not occur.. the faulty table had multirow settings enabled which caused the strange behavior.

Thanks for the assistance.

I wouldn't think so: similar things have happened to all of us :)

Infominimal working examples serve several purposes:
  • They help focusing on the problem
  • potential helpers will be able to find what the problem is much faster (Also with non-minimal examples they sometimes don't bother looking...)
  • In many cases one finds the issue oneself while creating a MWE (the most important point to me)
