Latex tends to use all the available space in each page!?!

Post by mallo »

Hello,

I don't know how to state my problem in a concise statement.
I am writing a long document class 'report'. I also added: 12pt,a4paper,twoside,openright and other little options in the preamble.

I noticed a strange behaviour in the generated pdf.

My pages tends to occupy, vertically, all the space available in the page. I mean, if I have 3 short paragraphs in the last page of a chapter, they are positioned as follows:
- the first at the beginning of the page
- the second in the middle leaving A LOT of space between the previous one and itself
- the third toward the bottom (obviously before the citations), leaving A LOT of space between the second and itself.

Even in the generated index I have the same problem. I have the last page of the index where there are only 3 or 4 entries and they seem like 'vertically justified'.

I would like to turn off this behaviour, in many cases, like in the index, the output is horrible.

Any suggestion about the possible cause? I don't know how to search the problem on the Internet, since I don't know the correct name of the error.

Thanks,

Mauro

Try putting into the preamble (Document > Settings > LaTeX Preamble) the following:

Code: Select all
