Reply To: Odd para spacing before column break

Oh, I fogot a key part of the issue!

The problem I described — a gap at the beginnign of the new frame — can obviously be resolved by placing the break character at the beginning of the next paragraph (that you want to start the next frame) instead of at the end of the last one.

But this creates the OP's original problem, because the paragraph still spans the frames. And that means some space is required in the first frame — if there isn't enough, it gets automatically pushed into the second frame, and THEN the break character is read, pushing us into a THIRD frame.
