Wrong vertical spacing when using \thispagestyle{tudscrheadings}.

[sisyga]

Using the tudscr document classes I can make use of the tudscr page styles. However, when using \thispagestyle{tudscrheadings}, the vertical spacing does not work properly and the text and tud heading overlap. Using \pagestyle{tudscrheadings} works correctly, but is obviously not the correct choice, when I want exactly one page to be of this style.

Background: I want to use the tudscrartcl class, without the CD title page, which uses up a huge amount of space. To workaround that, I want to use the tudscrheadings page style only on the first page. Heres a MWE to reproduce the issue:

\documentclass{tudscrartcl}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{tudscrheadings}
\blindtext
\end{document}

This is a very messy behavior but sadly not easy to change since the selection of a tudheadings page style requires a adaption of the type area. Nevertheless, you can use the tudpage environment:

\documentclass{tudscrartcl}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\blindtext
\begin{tudpage}
\blindtext
\end{tudpage}
\blindtext
\end{document}

This way I get a single page in the tud style, but it is only practical if I know the length of the content associated with the page. However, I need a solution, where only the very first page is of this style, independent of the content. Otherwise it becomes messy, when adding/removing stuff from inside the tudpage environment. My sub-optimal workaround for now uses \vspace*{1.5cm}:

\documentclass{tudscrartcl}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{tudscrheadings}\vspace*{1.5cm}
\blinddocument
\end{document}

Are there any major drawbacks to this approach?

No, at least I can not think of any upcoming issues right now.
