tabu m-column vertical alignment not working after package updates

After MIKTEX package updates vertical m-column alignment in tabu does not work anymore. See MWE below



documentclass{article}
usepackage{tabu}

begin{document}

tabulinesep=3pt


Result using tabu:

begin{tabu} to linewidth {|X[p]| X[m]| X[b]|}
hline
centering header p &
centering header m &
centering header b tabularnewline
hline
text which is considerably longer than the width of the column &
text which is considerably longer than the width of the column &
text which is considerably longer than the width of the column
tabularnewline
hline
end{tabu}

vspace*{1cm}

Result using tabular:

begin{tabular}{|p{0.3linewidth}|m{0.3linewidth}|b{0.3linewidth}|}

hline
text which is considerably longer than the width of the column &
text which is considerably longer than the width of the column &
text which is considerably longer than the width of the column
tabularnewline

end{tabular}


end{document}


The results is:
MWE mit tabu and tabular



Both tables should be equal but m-column in tabu is broken.Does anyone know which package is responsible for that? Here is the list of packages that were updated:

  • In my case I never use the tabu package alone, since it needs the longtable, tabularx, array and multirrow packages, if I compile your code with my normal configuration I have no problems, I get the same as with the tabular environment, you should know that tabu is not a self-contained package, it is a set of macros that other table libraries use to create beautiful tables ....

UPDATE 2019-01-14



A workaround for this issuse has been included in tabu 2.9 which has been submitted to ctan.





tabu probably needs an update to match the latest array, but you can force the use of the old array by using the new [=... optional argument to usepackage.



enter image description here

  • I have no idea what tabu should do to correct the problem, but the cause is that array now uses vbox instead of vcenter for the m-column and as tabu tests for currentgrouptype it doesn't get 12 but 4 and so takes the wrong path.

  • Thanks for the quick help. I didn't expect such a fast answer :). I found out that the problem persists if the usepackage{siunitx} is loaded before. usepackage{array}[=2016-10-06] should be loaded first to avoid any problems. Thank you!

Thanks for the quick help. I didn't expect such a fast answer :). I found out that the problem persists if the usepackage{siunitx} is loaded before. usepackage{array}[=2016-10-06] should be loaded first to avoid any problems. Thank you!

@Micha I have mailed the tabu author pointing out this incompatibility, so hopefully he'll update to match the latest array.
