Thank you!
Hi:

There is nothing--save yourself the brain-damage now--that will keep captions together with anything. Images, figures, tables. If you can, you could make a table CELL, that would contain the caption; but as far as I know, the faux-property of "display:table" doesn't work in any eBook reader, ePUB or MOBI.

If you put an image in a two cell table--one column wide--even THAT won't prevent the caption breaking from whatever it's beneath (above, etc.). eBooks simply aren't to that point yet. We use "break:avoid" (for whatever--divs, yadda), but that's to future-proof them. Someone will no doubt pipe up here and say that "such-and-such" supports that, but most don't.

AND, I strongly suspect that's why your display is messed up.
