Created attachment 204714 [details] A floating table Open the attached document. It has a single floating table, that goes from page 1 to page 2. Since it's floating, it has an associated frame. Scroll page view to the area between page 1 and page 2, to see the full table. Using Navigator, see the table and the frame. Hover mouse over the Navigator's table entry, and see the whole table highlighted, both on page 1 and page 2. Now hover over the Navigator's frame entry, and see that only second page's part of the frame is highlighted.

Hi Mike, Thanks for adding me to the CC list. I repro and will try to correct this. Version: 26.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) Build ID: dfc0ec48f86b39f7159d0c856fa7d497bea3ea13 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
I couldn't see how to make a floating table. I did a search and found: "To insert a floating table in LibreOffice Writer, go to Insert > Frame > Floating Frame, then insert your table inside the frame. This allows the table to float and span multiple pages if needed." Doesn't seem to work for me. I never get the 'Allow frame to split across pages' check button (m_xFlySplitCB) to show like it does for Frame1 in the floating.docx document in the Frame dialog Position and Size tab page. What am I doing wrong?

(In reply to Jim Raykowski from comment #3) Actually, I myself use Word to create these tables :-) I never created it manually.
