Bug 153488 Page Break - Page breaks are created for groups automatically
In the latest build, engine alyways creats a page break before the outermost group. Issues: 1) If i add a group with company logo and header, followed by a table (with groups). The output is confusing, a page break occurs between the grid and table. A better solution would be page break occurs before each group, except the first group. Current behavior PageBreakBefore = Always Better solution would be PageBreakBefore = Always but first 2) Looks like engine is automatically putting page breaks for groups. But when I click on the group definition i see the following values. PageBreakBefore - Auto PageBreakAfter - Auto // Auto means inserts a page break before the element if necesary. Suggested solution - When user click on new group dialog, BIRT designer by default sets the value PageBreakBefore = Always but first. This way it is less confusing to end users. Cons - Older reports will not have auto page breaks for groups.
