Headline shown one page too late

Question

I have a problem with the TOC.

Here is a simple example:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,bibtotoc,idxtotoc,headsepline,footsepline,footexclude,BCOR12mm,DIV13,openany]{scrbook}
% Included by MAIN.TEX
% Defines the settings for the CAMP report document

\renewcommand{\sectfont}{\normalfont \bfseries}        % Schriftart der Kopfzeile

% manipulate footer
\usepackage{scrpage2}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\ifoot[\footertext]{\footertext} % \footertext set in INFO.TEX
%\setkomafont{pagehead}{\normalfont\rmfamily}
\setkomafont{pagenumber}{\normalfont\rmfamily}

%% allow sophisticated control structures
\usepackage{ifthen}

% use Palatino as default font
\usepackage{palatino}

% enable special PostScript fonts
\usepackage{pifont}

% make thumbnails
\usepackage{thumbpdf}

%to use the subfigures
\usepackage{subfigure}


\usepackage{colortbl}


%% show program code\ldots

% for the program environment
\usepackage{float}

%% load german babel package for german abstract
%\usepackage[german,american]{babel}
\usepackage[german,english]{babel}
\selectlanguage{german}

% use german characters as well
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}       % allow Latin1 characters

%\bibliographystyle{alpha}
\bibliographystyle{plain}


\begin{document}
  \phantomsection
  \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract}

  \vspace*{2cm}
  \begin{center}
  {\Large \bf Abstract}
  \end{center}
  \vspace{1cm}
  Text text text
  \clearpage
  \renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of Content}
  \tableofcontents
  \clearpage
  \phantomsection
  \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Outline of Thesis}

  \begin{center}
    \huge{Outline of Thesis}
  \end{center}
  text text text
\end{document}

My problem is that I got the TOC headline on the next Page in the top of the outline of my Thesis. Anybody got an idea?

Welcome to TeX.sx! Please try to add a fully functional minimal working example (MWE). This one does not even compile. What is \phantomsection? — masu, Oct 24 '13 at 09:26
after the \clearpage, add the command \markboth{}{} to wipe out all running heads. until a new chapter or section is issued, running heads will not be reset automatically, — barbara beeton, Oct 24 '13 at 09:39
I put the hole header in here. Because I can't explain what the \phantomsection means. If it helps, I use pdflatex on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
The second posting helps a little bit. Now I didn't got any Headline, also not in top of the TOC. — fklausen, Oct 24 '13 at 09:52
@masu \phantomsection is a command from the hyperref package. — , Oct 24 '13 at 13:41
\footertext set in INFO.TEX so we can't compile as we don't have this INFO.TEX. (and on my current system, I don't have droppings either and some other things). You should first spend some time removing packages and see if and when this removes what you perceive as a problem. — , Oct 24 '13 at 13:46
@fklausen That's the point of constructing a minimal working example. I didn't need an explanation for the \phantomsection just a \usepackage{hyperref}. Or (in this case it seems to be more appropriate) you should remove these commands from the example if the problem occurs even without them. A useful MWE is crucial, you'll have higher possibility of a good answer if you have a MINIMAL example demonstrating your problem. — masu, Oct 24 '13 at 13:51

As Barbara mentioned in a comment, running headers aren't cleared automatically. You need to issue a \cleardoublepage and after that use \markboth{}{}

You seem to be setting sectioning commands by hand, which is never a good idea. Using the KOMA-built in commands, you can achieve your goals in a much easier way. You can read more about it at Correct use of hyperref and addcontentsline

Please not, that i substituted the obsolete options for the current KOMA-options.

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,

%BCOR12mm,
BCOR=12mm,
%DIV13,

\selectlanguage{german}%Really the old german spelling?

\tableofcontents

\addchap{Outline of Thesis}

\foreach \x in {1,...,20} {\blinddocument};
\end{document}
