I have been seeing problems in numerous documents I've been testing in several versions of Prince including the current v11. In some pages a block of the page content will flow over into the footnotes area creating overlapping text. I'll include an attachment from a page and a section of the html and the whole css file. The html segment won't contain enough text to reproduce the error on its own. I can send the document to the developer if needed. I suspect the float on this <div> is part of the problem, but usually the floated <div> divides properly from the bottom of one page to the top of the next and sometimes it just bleeds into the footnotes area. Most of the time it works fine dozens or hundreds of times in several documents. Hopefully I've been clear and included enough information that the problem is understandable.
Thanks,
Michael
The attached PDF of a page shows overlapping text at the bottom in the footnotes, and there is a line that is hidden by the overlapping footnotes.
This is a small section of the html. It only contains two <article> whereas the original contains hundreds.

I will keep investigating.
. I don't know if those parts matter or change the rendering in a way that makes it more likely to reproduce the problem.
