Public bug reported:
Hello, guys.
When the text becomes long enough and there are sections, figures, and
tables of the half-page height, then the last figure or table may
disappear. A separate page appears instead, containing a few garbage
symbols like `,ы,' and nothing else.
This bug is reproducible on my text in a latex-latex-bibtex-latex chain,
as well as in a pdflatex-... chain. The problem arises at the last
stage, at the very last latex/pdflatex, after the `bbl' is generated,
and `aux' is updated.
If to add a few paragraphs of some Lorem ipsum somewhere in the text, to
any place, then the problem disappears. It looks like the compiler can't
handle placing large figures and tables on the pages.
I cannot show the bug with a short example, although I'll try again.
Unfortinately, I can't provide you the text that I'm currently working on,
since this is an unpublished article.
In sum, I can list some of the factors that contribute to the bug:
1. At least two figures and/or tables. They should not be too small.
2. Presence of the bibliography, either inline or as '.bbl'.
3. A situation where the compiler must decide, where to break the page or not.
This never happened on Debian 10, and on any [stable] Ubuntu <20.04.
