Hi There! I finally had to dig into the code of Fop as I really need this balancing to work fine. I found the Class BalancingColumnBreakingAlgorithm where I made some tests.
It seems for me that the calculation of the "fullLen" does not return the correct value: "fullLen = ElementListUtils.calcContentLength(par, activeNode.position, par.size() - 1);" I think the headers appearing in the other columns except the first one are not counted into the full content length. When I added the approx. width of the header to the "fullLen" the balancing was fine as the "idealPartLen" had the right value. Can anybody tell me please if this could be fixed? Thanks in advance!
