Thanks Andreas, that does seem to reproduce the problem! Boy thats
a bad
bug/limitation that has been lurking there since the beginning of
time... A
253 char text block limit...
Indeed! :)
The fact that it has remained undetected for so long does say
something about the average length of text-nodes in most general use
cases...
Not really new for me, as I have some statistics-gathering
stylesheets that I run from time to time.
The last similar one I remember was the 32K char-limit for
TextLayoutLayoutManager due to the use of shorts as indexes into the
FOText's char array. Also a low priority issue. Who on earth would
need /that/ much characters? The bug-report was killer. When Jeremias
asked to provide a test-file reproducing the issue, the reporter
replied with a FO that simply contained TextLayoutManager.java, put
inside a single fo:block... Great sense of humor! :-)
I haven't looked at the related code here yet, but purely from that
number, I'd guess a byte is the source of the issue. 253 is pretty
strange, though... Something like an array with Byte.MAX_VALUE
elements, but the first and the last are unused (very wild guess?).
Cheers
Andreas
