Hi everybody,

This weeks funny guessing game deals with tables again. I found that problem 
earlier but until now I was unable to create a sufficiently short and easy 
example. Please have a look at the attached fo file. 

In the file you will see a table with two columns and one row. The table 
background is red. 

In the left column, there's only one block with some padding afterwards. The 
cell background is blue, the block background green.
In the right column, you will find two blocks. The first block has a space 
afterwards and a pink background color. The second block has an orange 
background color and contains a simple table with one column, one header row 
and two data rows.
The pink and the orange block together are slightly higher than the green 
block. 

So, what would we expect? I'd expect to see four colored blocks, left upper 
corner green from the green block, right upper corner pink, right lower corner 
orange. The left lower corner I'd expect to be blue, since the blue cell would 
extend below the green block to give a nice rectangular shape. 

Now run the attached fo file through the latest code from subversion and be 
surprised. The left lower corner is blank. The complete table height is the 
height of the left column, not the height of the right column. 

Why? (Answer is worth 5pt)
How can I avoid that? (Answer is worth 15pt)
Is it fixable? (Answer is worth 10pt)
Can it be fixed this week? (Fix is worth 50pt, no problem if I have to apply it 
locally)
Why am I always running into such things? (Answer is worth 20pt, 200pt if I can 
use it verbatim to get a pay rise)

Regards,
 
Georg Datterl
