[reportlab-users] [Bug report] Table splits fail due to postponed-content height constraint

[Robin Becker]

Hi Yoshua (and Christian),

1) thanks for re-raising this bug. I suspect we failed to see/use the
google list report. Google wants to control everything bah :(

2) I see a layout failure when running the example without the patch.

3) The patch fixes this particular exception.

4) I will need to run a full set of graphical comparisons to see if the fix
materially alters anything else. If OK it will go into the next release
along with the test and credits.
