[reportlab-users] issue moving from 3.4.0 to latest

[johnf]

I should have added that I am using python 3.6.x, on OpenSuse 15.1.
But I believe the same is happening on windows 10 with python 3.7.x

I  have attached a file - not sure what I should do to make it simple - 
I believe there is data at the bottom.
