When using the revtex4-2 document class with the twocolumn option, the algorithmic environment of the algpseudocodex package has a right margin which extends too far. How do I fix this so the right margin aligns with that of body text? MWE below.

\documentclass[twocolumn,nobalancelastpage]{revtex4-2}
\usepackage{algpseudocodex}

\begin{document}
See the following lines of code.
The right margin seems to go further than that of body text.

\begin{algorithmic}
    \State A long first statement to demonstrate where statements linewrap.
    \State A short second statement.
    \Comment{Short comment.}
    \LComment{Long comment.}
\end{algorithmic}

\end{document}

The nobalancelastpage class option is there just so I can compare the margins of the body text and the algorithmic environment. Screenshot of MWE output below.

Output of MWE.

The problem goes away if I change one of the following:

  • revtex4-2 to article
  • twocolumn to onecolumn
  • algpseudocodex to algpseudocode (and delete \LComment{Long comment.})

    As a dirty hack, you could warp \noindent\begin{minipage}{.96\linewidth} ... \end{minipage} around the algorithm Jun 2 at 15:33
  • Thanks @samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, this works even inside an algorithm environment (which usually wraps around the algorithmic environment)

Quick and dirty hack: use a minipage around the algorithm to make the line shorter:

\documentclass[twocolumn,nobalancelastpage]{revtex4-2}
\usepackage{algpseudocodex}

\begin{document}
See the following lines of code.
The right margin seems to go further than that of body text.

\begin{algorithmic}
    \State A long first statement to demonstrate where statements linewrap.
    \State A short second statement.
    \Comment{Short comment.}
    \LComment{Long comment.}
\end{algorithmic}
\end{minipage}

\end{document}
