How to stop Odd Page Breaks?

How can I stop the odd page breaks?
To demo, I've made a simple report with 2 groups in a Table.
I just want a straight list, no page breaks any place.
I've Hidden all Headers. The Page Break setting gives me
Auto or Always, but not NONE!
I'm sure this is a simple issue....I Hope.
(See JPEG Attached)

What is the Page Interval setting on the Table?
How does this impact page breaks?

Thanks
Milt.

Hi Milt,

I'm not sure if I know exactly what you're talking about. Can you recreate your issue with the sample database and attach the report design?

Here's the design

There seems to be a bug with the detail row still taking up space even when there is nothing in it. If you delete the detail row, the table is rendered on one page. Please file a bug for this at <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/reportabug.php'>BIRT: Reporting Bugs and Requesting Enhancements</a>.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for reply. Clearly something is not working sensibly.

The Page Interval setting on the Table (Default 40) appears
to ONLY count detail rows *EVEN IF* the detail row is hidden.
The counting rule completely ignores Group Header and Footer rows.
This produces unacceptable report results in HTML and even worse in PDF.

One last Q: I tried playing with the canShrink and showIfBlank settings on the
detail row. Maybe I did not do this correctly. If you get a moment, could you see if you can get the detail row to perhaps "Show Blank" if empty or Shrink?

If no luck, I will file a bug.

Thanks again for your help, Michael.

Regs,
Milt.
