Hi Hans,

while finishing a big project (900 pages, 300 floating tables/figures) I noticed that the first line of each page is moving up/down (almost half a line)!

Reason: As soon a a floating object is placed the next page is disturbed.

The problem is that the vertical space collapser is collapsing *into* topskip's spec field, thereby changing its value. That much is clear to me. I do not know how to fix this nicely, but a crude workaround to fix your project is:

\appendtoks \global\topskip=10pt plus 50pt \to \everyafteroutput

That seems to be at least a starting point. Thank you Taco. I tried to use your workaround in my project:

Well, something is different now ... but all in all it gets totally weird now!

Please have a look at a original chapter: http://www.werksatz.com/attachments/chap_02_before.pdf and the same with your workaround http://www.werksatz.com/attachments/chap_02_after.pdf

See for example the space above the first lines on realpage 10 (userpage 14) and realpage 13 (userpage 17)!

Maybe I need to change the values 10pt, 50pt? What are they related to?

Maybe just deleting the plus 50pt will fix it.

Yes that's it! Seems to work now as desired (we'll have to see, if it is 100% water-proof ... ) Thank you very, very much for your "emergency aid" :o) Steffen
