Hi Venkat, hi Pascal There are many ways to change the table and avoid the problem. I have publications with thousands of tables and one of them is not working. I'd like a way to avoid the problem without trial and error.
Using a keep-together is bad, since the table may be larger than a page. Deleting a block is only avoiding the problem in this special case, in the beginning there were many more blocks and still it did not work. As soon as I brought the height of the left column nearly to the height of the right column, the table went corrupt again, no matter how many blocks. But indeed, I think I cut the table down to the lowest number of components necessary to show the problem. 2pts each.

Please check the fo file with this mail, slight change on main table. I am also attaching the AFP output file along with FO file. Thanks, Venkat.
