using \geometry{headheight=1cm} results in wrong layout for grading answers (Bug #765)
Description
Setting the headheight=1cm in \geometry causes the layout of the boxes for automated grading to be shifted after the first page of the subject. As a result, automated grading does not work (except for the first page of the subject). This seems to be the same issue as described here: https://project.auto-multiple-choice.net/boards/2/topics/6946
Version:
- AMC 1.4.0-1
- Debian 4.19.171-2
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new project, using the attach minimal .tex as a subject.
- Update the documents (create pdf subject and calage layout file)
- Check the layout of the second page in the GUI, or attempt to grade an image of the second page (scanned or other).
Expected behavior:
- The layout should line up with the boxes of the subject.
Observed behavior:
- The boxes are shifted to the bottom. The shift increases with distance from the top (as if the layout was stretched). See attached partial screenshot of the file cr/page-2.1.jpg.
Note:
- Removing the line \geometry{headheight=1cm} from the subject, or using options (as long as they do not include headheight) in \geometry removes the problem.
- If anyone has an idea on how to correct the bug and still grade the 60 or so papers I already received from my students that would be amazing!

Update: To answer my own question on how to "save" my batch of already filled-in papers, I simply removed the headheight=1cm option from the latex subject and updated the documents. This had the effect to produce the exact same subject pdf except on the first page, this time with the correct layout (except on the first page). I then graded the first page without AMC.

I did not experience this problem with your source file and AMC version 1.5.0. Can you check if this is fixed on your side?
