Hi,

 

I’ve noticed the following problem using the toolkit v1.4.1 and the FO plugin.

 

When a table cell that spans two rows follows two normal table cells, the right border between the top normal cell and the spanned cell is missing, even though rowsep and colsep are both set to 1.

It seems as though the border is there, but is being overwritten by one of the table cells.  When I set the border-width to 5, the border is visible, but when I set it to .1 for our client, it disappears.

This problem only occurs when the colwidth attribute of the colspec element is set to non-equal values for the two columns.  If the colwidth attribute of both columns is missing, emply, or equal, the borders appear correctly.

Here is some sample dita to illustrate the problem:

 

<table>

        <tgroup cols="2">

          <colspec colname="col1" colwidth="1.12*"/>

          <colspec colname="col2" colwidth="1.21*"/>

          <tbody>

            <row>

              <entry rowsep="1" colsep="1" >

                <p>A</p>

              </entry>

              <entry morerows="1" rowsep="1" colsep="1" >

                <p>B</p>

              </entry>

            </row>

            <row>

              <entry >

                <p>C</p>

              </entry>

            </row>

           </tbody>

        </tgroup>

      </table>

 

Has anyone else experienced this problem?  Any ideas for solutions?

 

Thanks,

Adena
