: Caption {#tbl-test}
Counter gets incremented
Because longtable is used by the first table
\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}[]{@{}ll@{}}
\toprule\noalign{}
a & b \\
\midrule\noalign{}
\endhead
\bottomrule\noalign{}
\endlastfoot
1 & 2 \\
\end{longtable}
\begin{longtable}[]{@{}ll@{}}
\caption{Caption}\label{tbl-test}\tabularnewline
\toprule\noalign{}
a & b \\
\midrule\noalign{}
\endfirsthead
\toprule\noalign{}
a & b \\
\midrule\noalign{}
\endhead
\bottomrule\noalign{}
\endlastfoot
1 & 2 \\
\end{longtable}
\end{document}
It seems we missed something in our tests - the documents are compiling, but the counter fix is not working.
This could also be related to a change in LaTeX package - more complex to know.
