I've read your proposal with great interest. I still have to say that I'm still not knowledgeable in the property-resolving area that I can cast a vote here. But it sounds good, nothing that disturbs me. I hope that the people with intimate knowledge in this area all participate and bring up any

Hi, In case anyone else has a similar problem there is a simple (and very obvious) fix: In: BodyAreaContainer.resetSpanArea(), After line: newHeight += 2 * 15600; Add: if(newHeightgetRemainingHeight()) { newHeight = getRemainingHeight(); } You can then tweak the newHeight safety
