Subject: 12.2.0; Previewing floats with H option with float and caption package
Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2020 19:37:44 +0200
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello,

I have been experiencing issues with preview, together with caption.sty and float.sty.

You will find a minimal example that triggers the errors documented below, while 
compiling without errors outside of preview. If you
remove the package caption.sty, or the package float.sty, preview
works.

If you change the H option on figures to !h, preview works again ; however, in my actual
work, where I discovered these errors, even after swapping all [H] to [!h], I still get the
"Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup." error. I don’t know if this is a usual behaviour of preview
(as I guess cutting a tex doc in chunks can be tricky)
if not, please let me know and I will try to build a minimal example.


Best,
-Anatole

I can only state an observation, not a resolution. Sorry for that.

There are a pair of

It seems that the mechanism of preview-latex conflicts with caption.sty
and float.sty. Although preview-latex has some work arounds for
conflicts with other packages, I guess they simply don't work when both
caption.sty and float.sty are present.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

I don't think we will be able to fix this issue, unfortunately.
Therefore I'm closing this report as "wontfix".  We can reopen it if a
solution is available.
