BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Widows and orphans in Bibliography

[meho_r]

Hi

I recently noticed that I get widows and orphans in the bibliography and it seems that \widowpenalty and \clubpenalty do not have any effect on this. Document class seems to be irrelevant. I use memoir in the example in attachment (take a look at pages 9 and 11 for an example of this behaviour), but if you try, e.g., book document class, you'll notice the same (e.g. take a look at pages 3 or 5).

I'll provide a complete example in attachment, with .bib file.

Note: I use pdflatex for compiling the document, TeXLive2009 without any updates yet. I also use apacite package for producing output according to APA style requirements.

Tough one, isn't it? Just to let you know, I posted the question on comp.text.tex too, so if someone there answers, I'll post it here.

And here it is: adding a small amount like 1pt to item separation seems to solve the problem:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\bibitemsep}{0pt plus 1pt}

I haven't done any extensive tests, though it seems to be working fine. Thanks to zappathustra at comp.text.tex for the idea.
