Thanks so much for putting the template together, and for these
corrections! These were some of the same issues I ran into too.

My captions don't seem to respond to the fix you suggest. It's as though I
didn't do anything. I'm not sure how to apply this patch:

...so I'm not sure how to fix this aside from shortening all of my caption
titles. Any idea what's going on?

The other three worked perfectly. Thank you!
