Right, there's something wrong there. For some reason the table is
broken into two parts even thought the block-container is in auto-size
mode. I'll have to investigate that.

But I've got a work-around for you: Set the height property on the
block-container and set the value so that the entire table has enough
room. Then the problem goes away.
