Table header is not displaying all data on page break
hallj05
<p>Hey, we are using the Open Source BIRT version 4.4.1 and are using the BIRT viewer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We are using groups within our table and have the header rows for the groups to repeat header.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In HTML output via the BIRT viewer it is only displaying some of the data in the header row after a page break. When run via Eclipse or PDF then it shows all the data in the header row.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is affecting more than one report and I've tried to swap out the data that isn't displaying with just labels and they still don't display.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The whole header row displays correctly in every other case except for on page break when the detail rows are on both pages. If all the detail rows finish on one page and then the page break happens then it works fine.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any ideas as to why the header row is not displaying correctly in HTML?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks for any help!</p>

<p>I've actually discovered that it displays correctly in eclipse when setting it to html, so it's just in the BIRT viewer using html that it has this issue.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've attached some screen shots (I had to censor some data)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the pictures the group header (Attribute, Derivation, # of Valid Values, Value) is repeated onto the new page since it didn't finish on the first page (1st page had one record and the 2nd has the last two). On BIRT web viewer it doesn't display the last two values of the header when it's repeated over from the previous page.</p>

<p>I've noticed on some of our other reports that it's doing this with different fields in the headers, sometimes it just displays parts of a cell, like just the label without the data that is in the same cell.</p>

<p>So I think I found out a temporary fix, if I add an extra blank header row below the one that doesn't display correctly then it works.</p>

<p>I haven't tried this on all the reports to see if it fixes the others.</p>
