Thanks a lot for the answer, Jürgen, that indeed explains the problem.
However, I don't get why "Figure wrap float" does work, even though it is
also a float.
And the solution suggested on the website regrettably does not help in my
case: I can't switch the box and figure, as I need the lines of the box to
include the figure and, more importantly, the box float is (if I understand
correctly) the only multi-page float.
Is there a way to make the figure wrap float non-wrappable, i.e., to have no
text at the side(s)?
Thanks again!
best,
Frank
