For some reason my "Languages" chapter is not appearing properly: it's as if parts of it were not respecting my page layout (see A on the screen-capture).
Also, and it's probably related, there's now a blank page right after "Chapter 1" when "chapter 2" should instead appear there (see B on the screen-capture).
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
