Good idea, but no: this line is very carefully positioned, and under 1600% zoom it's well clear of the top of the reference frame, by about 0.4 mm.

Reference frame is 1 mm shorter than table column width. Maybe I should make it a lot shorter. >Have you tried using an anchored frame below, with a rule, instead of the >reference frame, just to see if it's stable? Nope. I guess I could try that, but I'm pretty much done working with these files now, and as the bug only manifests itself occasionally, so occasionally that I cannot put my finder on what triggers it, it might take me a while to even know if this was stable. As this under-rule is only used on a single para per document, there doesn't seem to be a lot of point in having it on the reference page anyway. Thanks, everyone. -- Steve
