Re: Disable 900 penalty when not all cells have contributed in tables?
Thanks for all your feedbacks. Hearing no objections, I’ll then commit the change in the next days.

+1 I guess it makes sense.

Re: Disable 900 penalty when not all cells have contributed in tables?
Vincent, both of them I'd prefer to see split onto two pages. So imo a high penalty is better That will still be possible with the infinite penalty (assuming your 1.5 pages contain enough break possibilities in between). The rule here is only to make sure that every column contributes at least the content before the first break possibility (for each column) to a row before the row is considered breakable. In this case +1, I can't think of any other cases where this could fail. When a row starts at the bottom of a page, there may not be enough remaining room to allow every cell to put a part of its content: | Cell 1 | | - Page break --- | | This text doesn’t fit | | | on the previous page | Max
