Package: mgp
Version: 1.11b-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
In mgp, I've always noticed how vertical space couldn't be reduced.
With 1.11 (as opposed to 1.09), it was still worse, and I couldn't fit
my source code in the page any more, as a lot of blank space was wasted.
Actually, I would even like to have negative vgaps sometimes.
Sticking to the rule that programs shouldn't dictate policy, I think
the following patch should be applied, as forcing a minimum vgap
(equivalent to "vgap 30" or so in most cases). I left the final
"+= 2", although it has no reason to exist, only because I noticed
it only after I re-previewed all my slides. I think I'll remove it
as well sooner or later.
Unfortunately, this change is incompatible, as all presentations will
shrink vertically whenever the code tried to set a vgap smaller than
the (unknown) default. But presentations use to get broken across
releases, unfortunately.
This is a serious bug in my view, but I marked it as wishlist because
it's incompatible witht he current behaviour.
