Hi, attached you may find a 4-page minimal example containing 1 table and 3 section headings. If the table is set with \placetable[force]{Test}{ ... then the vertical distance above the headings is consistent. When you make it floatable: \placetable{Test}{ ... the the headings AFTER the table get a spurious extra space above! How can this be avoided? Every help is very welcome!!
