When a table contains vertically merged cells, those cells may break across
pages at the subordinate row boundaries even when the table properties are set
to disallow breaking of rows. In my case, the intent of the vertical merge was
to create a single complex row grouping several closely related rows, and not
allow the group to break across pages. This is how Writer functioned in version
2.0.4 and probably all releases prior to 2.3. It appears that changes made for
other issues have made it impossible to specify this behavior.
The best workaround I have so far discovered is to split the table at the first
of the rows comprising a group that would be broken, inserting a manual page
break if necessary. This introduces a great deal of sensitivity to changes in
column widths, page margins, and even cell contents for *any* of the cells
preceding the artificial split if that changes row heights.
Either the interpretation of disallowing row breaks should be extended to
disallow cell breaks, or a new option is needed to specifically disallow cell
breaks, or some kind of "keep together" formatting capability is needed (e.g.,
Ctrl-{ to mark the beginning and Ctrl-} to mark the end of material that should
not break across pages; this could be useful even outside the context of
tables).
