--- Comment #2 from Thomas Esher <thomas_es...@web.de> ---
"Widow" is a technical term of typesetter jargon. It is the single last line of
an paragraph on a new page. Typesetters consider this ugly layout. Paragraph
control should provide for pushing an extra line on the new page in this case.

THE FOLLOWING BEHAVIOUR IS CORRECT
This behavior you can experience when you take the attached example, go on page
2 below the line "But out of the cell it works" and delete only one line-feed -
result: both lines on page 3 go up to page 2 together. Now press again return
one time and two of the last lines will be pushed over to the next page.

This is controlled by paragraph format "Text flow" (my German UI says
"Textfluss")
at the bottom of the dialog window. There you should find something like
"orphan contol" and "widow control" with default setting to 2 lines each.

THE FOLLOWING BEHAVIOUR IS BUGGY
Now go to page 1 of the attached example below the line "Below the widow
example"
and do the same as above. You can now observe as the "widow line" in the table
cell disappears from page 2 when you delete on line. And it reappears when you
press return.



Similar facts hold for an "orphan" as typesetters call them: A single line of a
new paragraph at the end of a page. The attached file has pertinent examples
prepared on pages 3 to 5.
