When I use \flushbottom on my document, +line spacing expands to fill up pages, but the subsection headings do +not move along with the rest of the text. Therefore, the section +headings end up overwriting text in the previous section, and a large +gap is then left between the sections. (These extreme behavior is only +on a few pages with bad page breaks, but looking closely at other pages +I can see that headings are misplaced vertically) + +Any idea what could cause such behavior? I'm writing a thesis with a +custom package, but the package uses the standard \@startsection to +define the section headings, with appropriate rubber lengths, and I +can't find any other modifications that would affect section headings. +All the other packages I'm using are standard-distribution packages +that, to my knowledge, shouldn't have anything to do with section +headings.
