<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word; line-break:after-white-space">I’m mystified by a phenomenon that has been an irritant while creating a particular document, illustrated by the attached files.
<div class="">The only difference between the two source files is on line 80: in version (a), the page break is commented out, and in version (b) it is present.</div>
<div class="">In the pdf for version (a), the text coming after the figure is run together (as if I had failed to exit math mode, except that the font is not the math mode font) but when I introduce a page break, the problem disappears.</div>
<div class="">In the context in which I am running into this, the page break is not a problem, but I am curious what it is about the figure that creates the problem.</div>
<div class="">I have left the full figure, which invokes the pst-ode macro/program for plotting solutions of a system of two linear (homogeneous) o.d.e.and in fact when I comment out lines 35-52 and 56-67 (which leaves only the commands for drawing the axes)
the problem also goes away (even without a page break).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Any idea what is going on, and if possible, how to fix it without invoking a page break?<br class="">
