I am working on a
solution. We used to just never output blank cards -- I am not sure
when or why that changed. Another possibility is to change auto layout
to ignore next card directives if the current card is completely blank.
Either way it will take a new release.
This is fixed. GEMS 1.16.2.1 will be out
shortly. I went with the solution of changing the "Next Card"
placement behaviour. It now resets the layout cursor to the
front first column of the current card if its empty. I think that is sane,
but I have not really thought through all the edge conditions. Let me know
if it causes trouble. I am mostly bothered because I know common
nonpartisan second cards has worked in the past, and that changing the next card
behavior was not the solution. Seems the correct answer to me
today though.
Note that GEMS 1.16.2 will break download to AVTS
3.12.x. I got sidetracked by this problem and a couple of other things
today, so the matching AVTS 3.13.1 won't be out until at least
tomorrow.
