Re: "mom": text on second page is overstruck

 At the request of Oliver Corff, I've attached two files:
"test-macro-document-1.mom": The source file for "mom".  (Please excuse the 
random tests that fill the file.)

"test-macro-document-1.pdf": The PDF output file that shows the problem of 
overstruck text on the second page, in the second column.
The command line that I used was:    $ groff -p -mom -Tpdf 
test-macro-document-1.mom > test-macro-document-1.pdf
Thanks,-- Steve Ross

 Groff mailing list,
I have a problem as I'm using the "mom" macro package.
I have attached the text file named "mom-overstruck.txt" to (I hope) diagram 
the issue that I see on the second page of my PDF file.  I have two columns on 
both the first and second pages.  On the first page, I expect the text at the 
bottom of the second column to continue on to the top of the first column on 
the second page.
However, the problem is that the text that should be placed on the second page 
at the top of the *first* column is appearing at the top for the *second* 
column.  So, it is overstriking other text that is "already" at the top of the 
second column.   And the location at which text should be positioned in the 
first column has only blank space.
What am I missing?


Other info--------------------------
The "groff" version is 1.22.3.The "mom" version is 2.1-c_1.The command line is: 
   $ groff -mom -Tpdf myText.mom > tmp.pdf

Thanks for any insight that you can offer.
