Interestingly, it remains broken even if the \bf isn't there, just the open and close braces. So presumably this is something to do with the expansion of what comes after the \placefigure?
I ran into this also and wrote:
I've found that it has to do with the content of my text. Any paragraph beginning with a block does not flow properly. The best workaround I have found is to insert a \strut at the beginning of the text where it starts with a block.
To which Hans replied:
right, this is a known weakness: if you start a par with a \command, you may end up with yes/no indentation or some everypar interference (can for instance be due to the fact that the command can start a group and aftergroup things can be messed up), your \strut solution is ok (\indent\ noindent or \dontleavehmode is also ok), since they start the paragraph
So begin your text with: \strut {\bf ....} or one of the other commands. \strut is a zero-width character. -Bill -- Sattre Press The King in Yellow http://sattre-press.com/ by Robert W. Chambers info@sattre-press.com http://kiy.sattre-press.com/
