BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ disable ibidtracker in floats

[sj1988]

Hi,

I am using the ibidtracker in constrict mode and I would expect it to be disabled when I wrap a citation in a float. However, the final document keeps showing ibids, which I don't understand why?

Here is the code where I expect no ibid.

Code: Select all

%proposition
\newcommand{\inlineproposition}[4][\empty]
{
     \begin{figure}[htbp]
          \refstepcounter{proposition}
          {
               \label{#4}
               \begin{quote}``{\it #3}''\end{quote}
               \vspace{-0.7cm}\hspace{0.5cm}\rule{35em}{0.5pt}
          }
          \addcontentsline{prop}{proposition}
          {
               \protect\numberline{\theproposition}#2 \parencite{#1}
          }
          \\
          \centerline
          {
               \small {\sc Proposition} \theproposition : #2\optionalarg{#1}{}{ --- Basis: (\cite{#1})}
          }
          \par\noindent 
    \end{figure}
}

Hope somebody can help. Thank you .

Hi sj1988,

welcome to the LaTeX community!

Could you please extend the code snippet into a full (compilable) but minimal example (a minimal working example) that let's us reproduce your issues? Otherwise I'm afraid you won't get much help.

Regards

Hi Clemens,

thanks for your reply and sorry for not posting a working example. Here it is.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt, a4paper, oneside]{article}

\usepackage[british]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=authoryear-icomp, maxbibnames=99, maxcitenames=2, sorting=nty, natbib=true,ibidtracker=constrict]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{Bibliography.bib}

\begin{document}
\cite{Aron:2005ly}\\
\cite{Aron:2005ly}\\

\begin{figure}[h]
	\cite{Aron:2005ly}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

I would expect the following output:

Aron and Singh, 2005
ibid.
Aron and Singh, 2005

What I get is:
Aron and Singh, 2005
Ibid.
Ibid.

which is confusing because according to the specification of biblatex chapter 4.11.5 the ibidtracker should be disabled in float environments

Seems like a bug to me. You could make a report to https://github.com/plk/biblatex/issues

Thank you Clemens. Will do!
