Apologies if people get this email twice! I sent it from the wrong email
account the first time, and also made a mistake in what I'd written.
Sorry. Ed

I've put the relevant four pages here:
http://hepwww.ph.qmul.ac.uk/~moyse/lyx/problem.ps
(184kb).
It shows pages 131-134 of the complete thesis, and you can see how the
footnote has moved. If I just load the chapter, then do view->pdflatex,
then
everything is okay. See this for details:
http://hepwww.ph.qmul.ac.uk/~moyse/lyx/correct.ps (64k)
As you can see, some figures have moved between the two versions ... I've
just checked again and the margins were set differently. The behaviour is
now identical, but nevertheless, I want the footnote on the same page. I
guess that putting the footnot oon the page might push the text the
footnote refers to to the next page, which is why LaTex gets confused. Is
there a neat solution though?

Yes, and I have thought about moving them, but I am worried that this
might make other footnotes misbehave. I don't want to have to reexamine
the entire thesis each time I make a small change!
Cheers,
Ed
