--- Comment #1 from Dominique Boutry <[email protected]> --- LO has rules to govern different situations : 1/ where to split horizontally a zone of content, in order to break correctly between pages and sections ; in the present case, the 2x2 table can be broken between the 2 lines, thanks to the settings in the table properties, 2/ when to split horizontally ; general rule is : if there is not enough place until the end of the page or until the end of the section column (without setting "columns of equalized length") in page ; if the split gives the best equalization of all the section columns of the page (with setting "columns of equalized length"), 3/ where to position the parts, in case of an effective split : at the top of the next page or section 4/ what to do if a part of a splitted content overflows also at its new place in top of the page/section : an abrupt trimming at the bottom. In the case of the present Bugzilla file, we can see the application of some of the above rules (suggested modification for a better understanding : fill the 4 cells with a/b/c/d before copying) : a/ the first positionning of the pasted material seems computed with the initial length of the section columns ; just before the "paste", the table doesn't fit in the current 1st column height ; even its first row alone doesn't fit too. This results in nothing in page 1/column 1, the first row abruptly trimmed at the top of the page 1/column 2, the impossibility to insert any text at the bottom of the page 1/columns 1 and 2, an unexpected empty row at the beginning of page 2/column 1 the and the remaining of the table in page 2/column 2, b/ however, after the above positionning, LO notes that it has made a page break, so it adjusts the lenght of the page 1/columns 1 and 2 to the page length : this results to the incomprehensible final lay-out, c/ note that a small adjusment of page lengh resets all contents to its correct place. What is patently false : - the initial placement made before the application of rules to lenghten sections (I guess that the correction is tricky, with a kind of iterative criteria "where is the better equalisation between the different possible splitting points, knowing that the section lengh may vary within limits"), - the insertion of the empty row at the top of page 2/section 1. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
