I've been trying to use the strip environment (called via widetext) to insert full-width text selectively when in twocolumn mode. When using it only once per page, it seems to work just fine. Used more than that, it results in entire sections of subsequent text vanishing, being replaced by the number 9. (When not in twocolumn, there's no 9, but even more sections vanish.)

(Note: I don't have sufficient "reputation" to use the keyword tags useful to my post.)

    twocolumn,
    ]{memoir}
\usepackage{cuted}

%   \AfterEndEnvironment{strip}{\leavevmode} % https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/264510/unexpected-behavior-of-cuted-strip

\begin{document}


\begin{strip}


\section{Section 1}

Text 1




\end{strip}


\section{Section 2}


Text 2


\begin{strip}


\section{Section 3}

Text 3




\end{strip}


\subsection{Section 4}


Text 4

(Not an answer) I cannot confirm any disappearing acts of sections or subsections using cuted.sty 2012/10/04 v1.5 Mixing onecolumn and twocolumn modes.

UPDATE I can now confirm that the issue can be reproduced using the last update of cuted: cuted.sty 2021/10/04 v2.0 Mixing onecolumn and twocolumn modes. See the last figure.

Try this code. (just added a dummy text to check the wide behavior)

Compiled with

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.22 (MiKTeX 21.3) (preloaded format=pdflatex 2021.10.12)

The problem is the version of cuted.sty(default V2.0). Just use the older version V1.5 and the missing context will appear.

Here is the link of the cuted.sty(V1.5): https://tug.org/svn/texlive/branches/branch2017/Master/texmf-dist/tex/latex/sttools/cuted.sty?view=log

download the 2017 years version and replace V2.0 with it in your own computer files(e.g. D:\latex\texlive\2023\texmf-dist\tex\latex\sttools)
