[reportlab-users] Bug in RL 2.3: XPreformattedFit and keepwithnext add spurious page

[Roberto Alsina]

Consider this script:

--------------------------------------

styles = getSampleStyleSheet()
doc = SimpleDocTemplate("issue216.pdf")
        
knstyle=copy(styles['Normal'])
heading=Paragraph('A heading at the beginning of the document',knstyle)
heading.keepWithNext=True
content= XPreformatted('This is the content\n'*120,styles['Normal'])
        
doc.build([heading,content])

--------------------------------------

If I don't set heading.keepWithNext to True, it produces a document that 
starts with 'A heading ....' followed by 'This is the content' repeated 120 
times.

With keepWithNext set to True, there is a pagebreak at the beginning of the 
document (see attached PDF file).

This is with reportlab 2.3
