"Allow Row to Break across..." does not work
Last modified: 2006-05-26 08:12:21 UTC
I have a doc in which the whole page is taken up by a table which is one column wide and two rows high. The two rows are fixed heights I have in the table properties the "Allow Row to Break across.." enabled. when I get to the bottom of the row instead of the page breaking and the text continuing in a table on the next page the text goes into "invisible land" I have tried 2.0, 2.0.2, and even the current build 2.0.3 and it all has this problem. While messing around I noticed that if I change the row to be "fit to size" then it does work. But if I have the height fix (which it needs to be in my case) then it doesn't work.
I did some more messing around to see other instances. It seems that by having fixed heights that text which doesn't fit the space alloted goes into "invisible land".
Yes, that is the intention of a fixed height... the table won't grow if it filled with text. If you want to have the table breaking then, you should give it a minimum height adapted to the page size with dynamical size.
Closed, it works as intended here.
