Head Separation differs from Page 3 onwards

Post by jodles »

I'm in the process of modifying the Article (KOMA Script) template in LyX. I've run into one odd problem: The separation between header and text becomes larger on page 3 and the rest, compared to page 1 and 2 (which results in my footer getting squashed to the bottom of the page).

I'm having a hard time figuring out what could cause this headsep increase. I can change the headsep with \setlength{\headsep}{x.x in}, but that just changes the separation relative to what I've described above.

Sorry for such a vague question! I'm not sure what information I need to give here, since I have no clue as to where the problem lies.

I'm using fancyhdr for my headers/footers. Please let me know what other info I can supply.

Solved it!

I had inadvertently set some page margins to 0 within Settings->Page Margins. Combining that with \setspace{} gives funky results. So by putting the page margins within LyX settings to "default", all the margins are consisted over all pages!
