Has anyone used the "Break Auto-size Section and Overflow to the Next Page" feature before?
I have a section which is set to Autosize depending on a Variable Text X. This variable text X may contain many lines, and is always printed after a Detail line section of the form.
The problem is when this variable text gets above certain number of lines, the autosize section does not break as specified, and causing the next occurence of Detail line section to start printing and overlapping variable text. In the example below, Detail Line 2 may start printing and overlapping over where Variable Text X Line 2 is.
Idea Order of printing would be:
Detail Line 1 Text ...
Variable Text X Line 1 ....
Variable Text X Line 2 ....
Variable Text X Line 3 ....
Variable Text X Line 4 ....
Detail Line 2 Text ...
Variable Text X Line 1 ....
Variable Text X Line 2 ....
Variable Text X Line 3 ....
Variable Text X Line 4 ....
I thought I found the solution for one second when I used "Strip railing spaces" in the Variable Text Properties, as all the overlapping of text would disappear. However, I realize this change does not seem to save whenever the designer project file is re-opened. It seems like a bug...
Does anyone know how to get around this?
I am using version 3.2.20.7225
