DO NOT REPLY [Bug 49801] Region-Body Column balancing incorrect if content is table with header

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49801

--- Comment #3 from Jeremias Maerki <je...@apache.org> 2010-09-06 09:46:13 EDT ---
I've been asked to look closer into this, and after about 10 hours spent
brooding over it and consulting the "Digital Typography" book I'm no closer to
solving it. I've been able to calculate the demerits which I expected to result
in the right break decision (for one case), but the algorithm still chose
another breaking point for reasons I just don't understand. The
BalancingColumnBreakingAlgorithm class was some kind of hack to begin with
which I knew had some short-comings. That is now pretty obvious, and I don't
know how to proceed. I have to give up for now since this is simply a bit too
high for me. I'll copy my local changes away so if anyone wants to give it a
shot, I can provide them. But I'm not sure if they would really help.

If anyone can help Adam, please get in touch with him.
