I'm using Lyx for the first time and find it, by and large, quite nice. However, I've run into a situation where Lyx's automatic vertical layout is creating ugly output. Example:input text small figure caption text large figure (taking an entire page) output PAGE BREAK text small figure LOTS OF VERTICAL WHITESPACE caption LOTS OF VERTICAL WHITESPACE text PAGE BREAK large figure (taking an entire page) I want a page break before the large figure, so that works fine. However the vertical whitespace is really unacceptable. I understand that the algorithm is trying to spread things out uniformly in the vertical direction, but in this case, I would like all the vertical whitespace to go away and just let the printed portion of the page stop wherever it stops. (Also, the whitespace between the figure and the caption just seems plain wrong. I have the caption marked "Definitely here", but my idea of "here" does not seem to agree with the way it works.) I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to prevent the layout shown above.
If \flushbottom is set it might help to put \raggedbottom in an ERT TeX box before the parts which space excessively. You can then turn \flushbottom back on afterwards, if desired, in another ERT inset.
