I'm having an issue with a table and an absolutely positioned block container. I am unsure whether it is resulting from my lack of experience or a bug in FOP. I am using FOP 0.94 and rendering PDFs. I want to position the table absolutely within the page header. The only way I know to do this is with a block-container. The problem is that when I include the absoulte-position attribute, FOP ignores my number-columns-spanned attribute on the cells in the third row. If I remove the absolute-position attribute, the table renders correctly (but obviously not where I want it to). Also interesting to me is that if I specify a height="10mm" attribute for the table rows and leave the absolute-position attribute in place, the table structure is rendered correctly and positioned where I want, but 10mm is far to tall. If I go down to a more reasonable height="5mm", number-rows-spanned is ignored and I get the following message: Jan 16, 2008 9:02:40 AM org.apache.fop.layoutmgr.table.TableContentLayoutManagercreateElementsForRowGroup WARNING: The contents of row 4 are taller than they should be (there is a block-progression-dimension or height constraint on the indicated row). Due to its contents the row grows to 19200 millipoints, but the row shouldn't get any taller than MinOptMax[min=opt=max=14173] millipoints. (fo:table-row, location: 121/28) My inclination would be to call it a bug because Antenna House's XSL Formatter (V4.2 Evaluation) renders it correctly. I'm still quite new to XSL-FO, however, so I'm unsure if it's something I've done. Any insight here? Is it a bug? Is my fo bad? Is there a way to absolutely position the table and get it's structure to render correctly? Thanks!
