I apologise, the MWE in this case is not very minimal:

One wonders what it was about staying in a rather noisome auberge during an unremarkable tour of a country which could hardly be describ’d as exotic that inspir’d such labours.

When I process this document, the footnote rule for series B is right at the bottom of the page, and the B series footnotes do not appear.

If I remove the line

\usepackage{lettrine}

then the problem goes away. (Note that in this document I do not use any commands from the lettrine package.)

However, the problem is also fixed by removing the line

\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenx}

or indeed replacing it by

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

Also, if I remove greek from the list of languages passed to babel, and the line \usepackage{teubner} then the problem is fixed.

Finally, if I remove the noend option to reledmac, the problem is fixed.

I have tested using version 2.24.1 and the current git version.

[rrthomas]

Indeed, if in my original document I remove the noend option to the package, my page breaks are magically fixed. So this is a good workaround.

[maieul]

so there is an incompatibility with noend, that we should not have

[rrthomas]

Oh dear. It turns out that another version of the document has the same problem without noend. I will do more investigation.

[maieul]

Sorry, but with your first MWE, I get this pdf which look like good.

toto.pdf

I see both the footnotes rules and the footnotes content.

[maieul]

(any way, for poetry, you should use stanza feature of reledmac)

[rrthomas]

But the poetry I'm setting doesn't have stanzas, unless perhaps each stanza is two lines. (I did try using them, but it makes things difficult.)

[rrthomas]

I confirm that if I copy and paste my MWE from the bug report back into a document and process it, I get the reported problem. (I also confirm that your PDF looks good.)

What pdfTeX version are you using? I wonder if updating to a later TeXLive might help…

[maieul]

Could you upload your pdf result?

[maieul]

(Even if you have not real stanza, you can use stanza feature, but that is an other topic…)

I have to eat and to sleep, but I think the problem is that we don't have the same version of packages.

No problem, I'll do a diff, just as soon as I work out how \listfiles works :)

[rrthomas]

OK, I see several differences, I'm updating to TeXLive 2017, and I'll see whether that fixes it, and if not, what differences remain.

[maieul]

I would be curious to know which is the older package which add incompatibility …

[rrthomas]

I hope you'll forgive me, I can't see a way to bisect two TeXLive versions (given that I don't have it installed from Subversion/git). I will see if it works with TeXLive 2017, and provide a diff, at least.

[maieul]

honestly, I have no idea how to bisect two TeXLive versions ;-)

[rrthomas]

OK, updating my TeXLive fixes the MWE. Will now see if it fixes my main project.

[rrthomas]

Phew, fixes it. (After working out what I had to do with my TEXMFVAR directory from TeXLive 2015!)

[rrthomas]

Therefore I think we can close this bug.

[maieul]

well, I am happy to not have to look on this bug ;-)
