Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 63593

Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:38:21 UTC
When a table that has caption does not fit in the rest of the page it is moved to the next page w/o allowing to fill the page as other frames. If the table does not fit in the entrire next page why don't let it continue from the initial page. This formatting behavior produce lots of empty space which aren't accept in some format documents.
according to http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/workflowcharts/ RFE_issues_by_QA.sxd I reassign this issue to requirements and set the status to New
