Abnormal distance in acronym list

TeX - LaTeX Asked on June 13, 2021

I have made a list of acronyms and at first everything looked fine. Once I added tRNA as acronym the distance between tRNA and TSH seem to be smaller than from the other acronyms.

Has anyone an idea why and how can I solve this?

usepackage[acronym,nonumberlist,nopostdot]{glossaries}

One Answer

This is actually a feature, not a bug, as the acronym list is printed as an index. Thus tNRA and TSH get closer because they both begin with t.

You can add the option nogroupskip, described on page 160 of the documentation of package glossaries, to disable the vertical gap, and get:

usepackage[acronym,nonumberlist,nopostdot,nomain,nogroupskip]{glossaries}
% I've also added a `nomain' to remove the warnings
