Presentations and Posters ⇒ [solved] Layout shifting with overlays in slide

[kozimodo]

I have a frame as follows:

Code: Select all

\begin{frame}
	\frametitle{My title}
	
	\begin{minipage}{6cm}
		Some content
	\end{minipage}
	\begin{minipage}{6cm}
			\includegraphics<1>[scale=.4]{overlay1.pdf}
			\includegraphics<2>[scale=.4]{overlay2.pdf}
	\end{minipage}

	\invisible<1>{Some text}
\end{frame}

and the layout changes as I move from 1 to 2. The figures have precisely the same dimensions:

Is there something obvious that I'm doing wrong here?

I found the solution on stackexchange - for anyone else seeing something similar, add %'s after your includegraphics statements.
