Não sei exatamente como descrever isso. Esta é a aparência do pdf:
Imediatamente após a figura 4.6, o texto retorna corretamente às linhas completas. Mas então, com o próximo item da description
lista, o texto age como se ainda precisasse envolver a figura.
Fornecer um MWE para isso é um pouco complicado, pois esse comportamento só aparece quando as coisas estão "exatamente assim", mas aqui está meu código para a figura e a lista:
\begin{wrapfigure}[16]{R}{0.4\textwidth}
\captionsetup{skip=0.5\baselineskip,size=footnotesize}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.35\textwidth]{Figures/VIcurves}
\rule{.4\textwidth}{.4pt}
\caption[Example V-I curve for solar PV panel]{Example V-I curve for solar PV panel \cite{solarex_millenia_1999}.}
\label{fig:VIcurves}
\end{wrapfigure}
Blah blah blah
\subsubsection{Inverters}
Blah blah blah
\begin{description}
\item[UPS inverters] use mains power to charge a battery bank, and supply ac loads with power from the batteries when mains power is not avaialable. Three 700 \si{VA} UPS inverters are in use at CREST.
\item[Solar UPS inverters] use solar PV input to charge the batteries and supply loads, when available. One 2400 \si{VA} solar UPS inverter is in use at CREST.
