[reportlab-users] platypus.KeepTogether generates extra empty pages

[Andreas Riedl]

Hi,

I have encountered the following problem with 'platypus.KeepTogether':

If the contents of a 'KeepTogether' doesn't fit in the current 'frame',
its method 'split' unconditionally inserts a 'FrameBreak'.

If this situation occurs after a 'PageBreak' or at the beginning of a 
document,
that behavior causes the production of an extra empty frame.
If the current frame was the last one of the current page that produces an
extra empty page.

The attachment contains a short demonstration of the problem and a 
suggestion
on how to fix it. (set 'applyPatch' to True to use my patched 
'KeepTogether',
which replaces 'FrameBreak' by 'SmartFrameBreak', which checks for
'frame._atTop' )

ciao, andreas
