I'm having multiple problems trying to insert a table into my document. I've
included a sample to demonstrate most of them, but there's one I can't
reproduce.
If you run the sample below, you'll see the following bugs:
- Header and footer are missing from the first page. Since no content was
added to the page at that point, the header and footer should appear
properly. Similarly, headers and footers should be changeable after newPage
has been called, but before content is added. I guess this qualifies as a
suggestion, but it would help lots of people.
OK, here are the REAL bugs:
Page 1:
- Extra blank row at bottom of table.
- Large space above cell text, no space below, even though I set all spacing
parameters to zero.
- Heavy border on bottom of table, even though it's not actually the end of
the table.
Page 2:
- Extra blank row at top of table. If you reduce the number of "content"
paragraphs to 35, you'll lose the blank row, but the top row will be
over-tall by a full line.
- Text not aligned with table borders.
- Heavy border on top of table, even though it's not actually the start of
the table.
Page 3:
- No header.
- Footer pushed onto page 4.
Page 4:
- Page 3 footer at the top, but otherwise fine.
And one more bug: In my main app, if I turn off the fake "content"
paragraphs, the table won't appear at all. It seems to only appear if it
touches the bottom of the page. I can't reproduce it in this test app
though.
Any workarounds would be appreciated. Respond to the list, I'll see it in
the archive.
