Note sure why Regina is added explicitly (mostly silent); but for the record: nothing wrong with document format as such.. The setting is not applied when loading for some reason.

@Justin
Feel free to ignore - I actually think you should - but if can't get enough of table code.. or want to study it more in depth for some reason:

LibreOffice doesn't really care about "Allow table to split across pages and columns for an embedded table" to be on/or off.. It doesn't honor don't split. And if it's allow to split, the result is also sub-optimal.

And if you want to fiddle even more, define row heights for the embedded table & check how it splits if you move the table up down by removing paragraphs before the table or adding new ones by pressing enter with Allow Row to break across pages and columns off

Yes, I think I will ignore this one. This should be fixed up by the user designing the document, and design it intelligently. It is not worth the processing time that is constantly re-evaluated by the layout engine to handle this corner case.

Should it be closed as RESOLVED WONTFIX then ?
