[Tex/LaTex] Problem with long chapter title and arsclassica

classicthesis

I have a problem with arscalssica style in combination with classicthesis.

The text under the chapter title starts always at the same position, independently on how long is the chapter title, which produce this ugly behaviour:

The code I used to generete this output is really basic:

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,twoside,openright,titlepage,fleqn,headinclude,footinclude,BCOR5mm,numbers=noenddot,cleardoublepage=empty,tablecaptionabove]{scrreprt}
\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage[eulerchapternumbers,subfig,beramono,eulermath,pdfspacing]{classicthesis}

\usepackage{arsclassica}

\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
    \chapter{\blindtext}
    \blindtext
\end{document}

The compilation raises the following warnings:

The behaviour is ok if I do not use arsclassica but only classicthesis:

Try redefining the command \formatchapter in this way:

\renewcommand\formatchapter[1]{%
    \setbox0=\hbox{\chapterNumber\thechapter\hspace{10pt}\vline\ }%
    \begin{minipage}[t]{\dimexpr\linewidth-\wd0\relax}%
    \raggedright\spacedallcaps{#1}%
    \end{minipage}%
}

MWE:

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,twoside,openright,titlepage,fleqn,headinclude,footinclude,BCOR5mm,numbers=noenddot,cleardoublepage=empty,tablecaptionabove]{scrreprt}
\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage[eulerchapternumbers,subfig,beramono,eulermath,pdfspacing]{classicthesis}

\usepackage{arsclassica}

\renewcommand\formatchapter[1]{%
    \setbox0=\hbox{\chapterNumber\thechapter\hspace{10pt}\vline\ }%
    \begin{minipage}[t]{\dimexpr\linewidth-\wd0\relax}%
    \raggedright\spacedallcaps{#1}%
    \end{minipage}%
}

\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
    \chapter{\blindtext}
    \blindtext
\end{document}

Output:

[Tex/LaTex] Undesired coloring of \graffito{…} in classicthesis and arsclassica

Add \leavevmode before the \color command.

(See a footnote about this in the grfguide documentation of colour support in LaTeX. (Sorry, its not my fault:-)

There is a different type of problem that will occur for all drivers. Due to certain technical difficulties\footnote{At least two causes: 1) The presence of a \texttt{\char`\\special} \m{whatsit} prevents \texttt{\char`\\addvspace} ‘seeing’ space on the current vertical list, so causing it to incorrectly add extra vertical space. 2) A \m{whatsit} as the first item in a \texttt{\char`\\vtop} moves the reference point of the box.}%

[Tex/LaTex] Multiline title vertical alignment using classicthesis and arsclassica

One possibility would be to use \formatchapter with two minipages (one for the number, the other for the title) with bottom alignment:

\documentclass[english,fontsize=11pt,paper=a4,twoside,
openright,titlepage,numbers=noenddot,
headinclude,BCOR=5mm,footinclude=true,
cleardoublepage=empty]{scrreprt}

\input{classicthesis-config.tex}
\usepackage{arsclassica}
\usepackage{babel}
\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{lmss}

\renewcommand\formatchapter[1]{% 
  \begin{minipage}[b]{0.15\linewidth}
    \chapterNumber
  \end{minipage}%
  \begin{minipage}[b]{0.6\linewidth}
    \raggedright\spacedallcaps{#1}
  \end{minipage}
} 

\begin{document}

\chapter{Conclusions and Recommendations}

\chapter{A Really Long Example Title Spanning Three Lines}

\end{document}

I suppressed parts of the example code that were not relevant to the problem discussed.
