problem with samepage=true

[eendebakpt]

I am trying to prevent an environment from splitting over 2 pages. The option samepage=true prevents the block from splitting, but the label (part of the frame) is still placed on a separate page.

Example code showing the problem is included below.

---

\documentclass[a4paper,notitlepage]{article}
\usepackage{minted}

\newminted{cpp}{mathescape, numbersep=5pt, frame=lines, samepage=true, fontsize=\small,label=C++ interface}

Internally, minted uses the fancyvrb package to handle many things. The samepage option is actually passed to fancyvrb, and I've replicated the issue using fancyvrb alone, without minted. So fixing this would require a patch for fancyvrb. After a quick look at the fancyvrb source, I suspect that fixing this would require a good deal of work, since it appears that the current samepage is only designed to work with to the block of verbatim text itself, rather than the title. Unfortunately, I don't have the background to patch this part of fancyvrb.

Here are some related links. You might try asking a question about fancyvrb and titles on TeX.SE.

I'm closing this, since it's due to fancyvrb rather than minted. If a new version of fancyvrb is ever created, this should be added to the list of requested upgrades.

Dear colleagues,

Did this issue make any progress since 2014? I encountered the same issue a few days ago. I use

\setminted{
fontfamily=sf,
autogobble=true,
frame=lines,
framesep=2mm,
bgcolor=very-light-gray,
samepage=true
}

and the bottom frame separator was rejected on the next page.

Regards,

Luc.

@lucbouge Unfortunately, I am not aware of any progress. fancyvrb is still essentially the same, and I'm not aware of any patches for it that would fix this issue.
