Suddenly, mysteriously, breaks have begun appearing in the middle of scene when I compile my screenplay. The scene is not new, and for months I’ve been compiling without problems. But in the last week, in one particular scene, big chunks of whitespace are showing up on the PDF that aren’t there in the Scrivener file. They look like page breaks, but I don’t know how they could’ve gotten there.
The chunks show up in the middle of a dialogue shift from one character speaking to another (i.e. where the formatting goes from “dialogue” to “character”). I’ve tried deleting the transitions and putting them back. I tried copying the text into a new file. The corruption remains.
There can’t be anything in the compile instructions that would effect the middle of document, is there? I’m a longtime Scrivener user, and I know how to add and remove spaces and breaks between docs, but I can’t imagine how something like this pops up mid-scene.
Is there are way to see the underlying code on the page, so I can figure out what’s behind this?
