Hi,

I don't know how exactly it happens, but in the attached example the last footnote is missing a space before the inserted \cite. In my real document that happens a lot and kills the layout. Anything I can do to fix that?

Best Regards, Andreas.

Ugly workaround:

\def\prefix{Vgl. \strut} % or \null

But I have no idea what's happening here, maybe Hans or Taco can come up with a real solution. \cite[alternative=data] seems to eat any horizontal space before it; I don't know if this is a bug or a feature.

It probably does an \unskip to get rid of bad vertical space in the publication list. Use the workaround Thomas offered, as it is not safe to change that. Best wishes, Taco
