Abstract formatting weird

[bengesoff]

Using the tabular thing wasn't working for me.

I resolved this by changing my abstract table code to:

\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{p{2cm}X}
    Abstract: &
    Abstract here.Abstract here.Abstract here.Abstract here.Abstract here.Abstract here.Abstract here.Abstract here.Abstract here.Abstract here.Abstract here.Abstract here.
\end{tabularx}

And it looked much better.

I haven't submitted a pull request because it obviously worked before for some people and I don't know much about the different distributions etc. I just thought it might help someone else!

Hi Ben,
Looks like there's an issue with the calc package not picking up on the -2cm here. I've tried your fix, but it seems to add a load of extra space after the abstract for me. I'll have a look into the tabularx package and see if there's a way to fix it.
What environment are you using?
Thanks for letting me know!

Yes I didn't think it would work everywhere!
I'm on MacTex V271 if that helps 😀
