Bugs

There are a few known bugs in L^ATEX that occur very seldom and cause the user little trouble, but would be very difficult to fix. Moreover, given the nature of complex systems, it is not unlikely that the corrections would lead to even worse problems. Therefore, these bugs will probably not be fixed.

The bugs and ways to get around them are listed below. Do not worry about any of them until you are preparing the final draft, since changes to the text are very likely to cause the problem to disappear.

• In rare instances, a figure or table will be printed on the page preceding the text where the figure or table environment appears. This can be fixed by either moving the environment further towards the end of the document.

• A marginal note at the top of a page may appear in the wrong margin. This can be fixed by inserting a redundant \pagebreak command to force a page break exactly where L^ATEX started the new page anyway.

• A footnote can be broken across two pages when it should fit on a single page. This happens when there is one or more figures or tables on the page. The problem is corrected by moving, towards the end of the file, the last figure or table environment that produces a figure or table on the page where the footnote starts.
