keep-with-next causes last row of previous table to come along

[paul <sa...@gmx.ch>]

Hello all
I find this odd: When I use keep-with-next on the first row of a table, 
what happens ist that the last row of the table before to come along 
onto the next page.

What I have:
Table A with 5 rows
Table B with 2 rows

What I'd like to achieve:
I want the two rows of table B to stay together, if they don't fit on 
the first page anymore, they should move to the next page

First attempt:
Table B, Row2: keep-with-previous="always"
Result: nothing happens, Row2 is printed separately from Row1 at 
beginning of 2nd page

Second attempt:
Table B, Row1: keep-with-next="always"
Result: The two rows are keeping together as wished, BUT: Row5 of 
Table A comes along too, being printed on top of page 2.

Any idea what's going on here?
I appreciate any suggestions, corrections, work-arounds. I'm also
 interested in learning, why the first attempt doesn't show any changes.

cheers

thanks chris, you were right. In the meantime I had sent the fo-file to
J.Maerki, and he recommended the same as you (acknowledging though that it is
some kind of exception that will be fixed).
cheers,and thanks everyone for the support&development

Doesnt sound like a bug to me. keep-with-next only tells the formatter 
to make sure the following object starts on the same page as the first 
object. (objects in your case is table-row) It does not prevent the 
formatter from breaking the objects themselves. So in theory, the 
formatter could start the second object but then before any actual 
content is placed, a break is allowed and the rest of the object occurs 
on the next page.

So when working with keep-with-* properties, keep-together should be set 
as well to give the results you expect.

In one of the earlier examples you gave, it looks like you could easily 
solve your problem just by adding keep-together="always" onto the second 
fo:table object. This would be much easier than specifying 
keep-with-next and keep-together on every row in the table.

Please provide a sample FO document (no XSLT) so we can easily reproduce.

ok, why first attempt doesn't work is clear now, it's not implemented yet

my workaround for the moment: Between Table A and Table B I insert an empty
Block. Now everything works as I'd like it to.

So maybe this is a BUG???
