don't what the problem is in your document, it worked in my small test
file. The problem is there is no option to allow linebreaks between the
floatnumber and the the floatcaption. A simple way is to write \crlf in
front of every caption text or to make a copy of the macro for your
document and put this in the core macro.

Did not work. I tried to write something frome your example bellow but
I don't how the result should look in the end. Please take a look in my
attached file and try to make something with this.
