Description Wil Hostman 2020-08-13 10:49:09 UTC
Description:
Section created, has 4 columns; table placed inside, one of several.
Table's options set for no cells breaking across columns and no breaking table across columns.
Column displays with 1 or more cells breaking across columns, ignoring that (1) there is room to display the full cell without forcing the section to cross a page boundary, and (2) it's been told not to break across columns.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. create section with 3+ columns
2. Create table with significant text per cell
3. Set table for no breaking cells across columns
4. set table for not allowing breaking table across columns.

Actual Results:
table still breaks across table

Expected Results:
Table should remain in column, or move entirely to next column.


Reproducible: Sometimes

Comment 2 Deborah Brouwer 2020-09-12 21:14:04 UTC
The option to prevent a table from splitting across columns works for me.
If i have misunderstood the problem, please more specifically describe which options you have selected.

Steps to Test:
1) Open attached test_sections.odt.  
2) UNCHECK Table Properties>Text Flow>Allow pages to split across pages and columns 
3) Click anywhere in the blue text.  
4) Table>Split Table>No Heading
As expected, result is that the new table is placed entirely in column 2.

5) Ctrl+Z
6) CHECK Table Properties>Text Flow>Allow pages to split across pages and columns 
7) Click anywhere in the blue text.  
8) Table>Split Table>No Heading
As expected, result is that the new table is split across column 1 and column 2.
