Hi everyone,

I'm working in unstructured FrameMaker 8 (p277) on Windows XP, and I'm noticing 
that tables have spacing issues at the bottom of a page when they have less 
than twice the number of orphan rows.

For example, if I have a table with 3 rows (regardless of heading rows) that 
has an orphan setting of 2, the last 2 rows will move to the next page when 
there isn't space for the whole table. However, if the table moves down the 
page, or if that first row expands vertically, it jumps to the next page before 
it fills the whitespace below it.

In fact, after some testing, it appear that the whitespace below the first row 
can never be less than the height of the second row of the table. You can 
actually expand the second row of the table, the one after the page break, and 
cause the first row to jump after the break.

I don't have any "keep with" or "start on" settings on any of the rows, so I 
can't figure out what is causing this behavior. Has anyone else see this, is it 
a known bug? Is there a workaround?

Thanks,

  Andy
