LyX ⇒ footmisc | Text Placement Issue

[Barrbarr]

Hello,

I am currently using LyX 2.0 and writing an article which has to respect certain page margins/other rules. I managed to set up almost everything the way it should be, however, one issue remains:
There is some extra space between the footnote and my text, which caused my footnote to appear above the bottom of the page.
I fixed the footnote placement issue by putting

Code: Select all

\usepackage[bottom]{footmisc}

into the preamble. However, there is now some extra space available between the footnote and text (1-2 lines, which is not filled with text but remains blank.

My text looks like:

Code: Select all

texttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttext
texttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttext
texttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttext
texttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttext
                 <- I want remove this extra space and fill it with text from the next page
---------------------
footnote
----------------[Next Page]---------------------
texttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttext
texttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttext
texttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttext
texttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttext

If I remove the footnote completely, the text is filled to the bottom page margin just fine.

Does anybody know how to resolve this issue?

PS: My Preamble:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[paper=a4paper, left=25mm, right=25mm, top=25mm, bottom=20mm]{geometry}
\usepackage{abstract}\usepackage[bf,sc]{titlesec}\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\renewcommand{\abstractnamefont}{\normalfont}
\renewcommand{\abstracttextfont}{\normalfont\itshape}
\titleformat*{\section} {\bfseries}
\titleformat*{\subsection} {\bfseries}

\setlength{\absparindent}{0mm}
\setlength{\absleftindent}{10mm}
\setlength{\absrightindent}{10mm}

\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\title{\Title}
\author{\AuthorA, \AuthorB}

\lhead{\begin{small}\Title\end{small}}
\rhead{\begin{small}\AuthorA, \AuthorB\end{small}}
\cfoot{}

\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage[bottom]{footmisc}

EDIT: Fixed, apparently it was not an issue after all - after restructuring the text, i.e. inserting new paragraphs and manual line breaks, and reducing the footnote-content the text gets filled to the beginning of the footnote just fine . Nevertheless, I am sorry for having wasted your time with my incompetence.
