Sorry if this question has already been answered before. The following code always produce the silly error:

TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=5000].<write>Package \mdframedpackagename Info: Not enough space on this page\on... \end{mdframed}

I have reduced it to the following example:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{scrreprt}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{mdframed}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
\blindtext[6]

%\newpage

\begin{figure}[H]
\begin{mdframed}[rightmargin=+0.5cm, leftmargin=+0.5cm]
hello world
\end{mdframed}
\caption{Some FOOBAR}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

Once I include the newpage command, the example compiles just fine!

I'm using this version of MiKTeX:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3-1.40.12 (MiKTeX 2.9) (preloaded format=pdflatex 2011.6.14) 7 JAN 2014 17:13
entering extended mode
**test.tex

Any help would be appreciated!

    Welcome to TeX.SX! I get no error. On the other hand, I advise against using [H]. – egreg Jan 07 '14 at 16:24

    Everything is fine here using This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (TeX Live 2013) – Sigur Jan 07 '14 at 16:25
  • Ok, I just checked and the problem occurs also without [H]. Unfortunately I cannot simply update my MiKTeX as I am currently working on a university computer. – Daniel Jost Jan 07 '14 at 16:32
  • Try to remove the trash text. I guess that it is related with it. – Sigur Jan 07 '14 at 16:47
  • The trash text is to simulate a quite full page. It only happens consistently when the preceding page is almost full. And yes, it does not happen without, sorry I should have made my intention of the minimal example clearer. – Daniel Jost Jan 07 '14 at 16:52
  • Try to use another package to produce the text. lipsum and then use as \lipsum[1-4] for example. – Sigur Jan 07 '14 at 16:53
  • No problem here either. Is your TeX distribution up to date? – jub0bs Jan 07 '14 at 17:17
  • Daniel, I do of course not know, how strict the admins on your university are, but usually in your user area you can install a full MiKTeX, too (not admin, but user installation!). Or is it a pool computer with user area on a net drive, and also the size is restricted? On the other hand they have to keep the system wide installation up to date, it’s their job. Go and keep nag them, if it is not. Beside this: You also can add a local tree for MiKTeX, where you only install some packages, e.g. an updated mdframed. – Speravir Jan 07 '14 at 18:37
  • It works fine for me with latest XeTeX under miktex. – Igor Kotelnikov Jan 08 '14 at 03:45

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's unreproducible with current packages and likely caused by outdated ones. – Paul Gessler Feb 21 '15 at 15:07
