Bug ID: 123116
Summary: Always allow row to break across pages when longer
than a page
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer

Sample ODT
Table rows have the following setting: Allow row to break across pages and
columns.
The setting is normally enabled, but when disabled, and when a table row is
taller than a page, the rest of the row becomes hidden, and falls of the page.
I can't find any reasonable explanation of this behavior, and suggest changing
it to always allow a row to break when it reaches full page length, regardless
of the setting.
Attaching a sample, it also includes a piece of text that gets hidden due to
the current behavior. Changing the behavior could lead to the layout of
existing files getting changed, though I can't imagine any files purposefully
having such a table (apart from hiding something).
The behavior also has interop aspects with MS Word:
- DOC files and DOCX files in compatibility mode behaves the same as Writer
does currently,
- DOCX files not in compatibility mode have the layout as proposed: the very
tall row starts on a new page, but is allowed to break further to the next
page.
Let's not deal with the interop part here, though. And frankly, I wouldn't care
if LO changed the behavior, and treated all files like that, unless there is a
compelling argument of possible side-effects.
