I have a quite long (3 pages) longtable in landscape and it is generating me a ton of bad box warnings (overfull \vbox and \hbox messages up to 30.0000pt too wide). But the table is perfectly fine for printing so I do not care about these messages at all. However I do care about them when they occur outside the table so I really hate it that this table spams my log and that I don't see the bad box messages I actually want to eliminate.
The tips I found so far don't seem to have any effect. Currently I have the following settings in my preamble:
\hbadness=10000
\vbadness=\maxdimen
\vfuzz=30pt
\hfuzz=30pt
This is just for testing as I wanted to be sure to set the right option. Later I would like to set the working setting right before the table and clear it afterwards. The settings however have no effect in the table. But they are not ignored, when I create a overfull box outside the table on purpose it's warning is gone with these settings in the preamble...
So what can I do to get rid of those nasty warnings for the table?
Here is the code of a table like mine. My actual preamble is much longer and so my actual table looks a little different. With this example the problem also only exists for \hbox while in my actual table there are also bad \vbox warnings but I guess it is the same problem:
\documentclass[
12pt,
a4paper,
twoside,
headinclude,
headsepline,
BCOR12mm,
DIV14,
parskip=half,
bibliography=totoc,
listof=totoc,
numbers=noenddot,
captions=tableheading,
appendixprefix,
abstracton,
pdftex
]{scrreprt}
