[texhax] whitespace before \end{figure} command

[Brian Papa]

OK, I just read the endfloat package file and it indicates:

When floats are being read, LATEX is in verbatim mode. Among other 
things, this
means that the lines like
\end{figure}
must appear on lines by themselves without any whitespace before or 
after them.
A complete reimplementation of the most difficult part of the package is 
required
to fix this limitation, but it is among the distant goals I have.

So I guess this is all "normal" behavior.
