Table/section running across 3 pages

Create a two-column section with a two-column table inside, both running RTL as well as the page. Whenever the table runs across more than one page, part of it disappears, but if selected it seems to have relocated over the section as shown in the screenshot.

I repro the relocating jump.

In 3.3 it is broken in a different way and does not jump.

Salamu alaikum,

As a work around, you can use the navigator, 
1-Select the concerned section,
2- Delete the section,
3- Undelete the section,

Now you can displcay your pdf correctly, or export it as a PDF.
But each time you reopen your file you have to execute the same steps on each two columned section of you document, which is for sure counter-productive at this stage;

I really hope that developers will take into consideration this work around and make us happy users. :)

If I understand correctly (I don't remember how I tested in 2016), it seems to be ok in the current stable version. I tested with 6.4 and there the file opens with 4 pages and the table looking unbalanced, but not in 24.8.

Could you try with an appimage and see how it goes: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/appimage/ ?
