Hi! I have a problem with fo:table-header. My table is a big one (say 2 ou 3 pages long), and I get an extra piece of row beetween the header and the first row, on each page after the first page.

Here what I get:

>...
>top of second page
>------border-top (header)------
>header content
>----border-bottom (header)------
>small vertical space (why ???)
>--------border-bottom of last row of the previous page (why ???)-----------
>data of the first row of the current page
>--------border-bottom (current row)----------------
>next data (second row)
>-------border-bottom (current row)---------------
> etc.

I don't know why I get this small vertical space and the extra border-bottom, but I know how to workaround the problem.

I use FOP 0.20.5.
Below the original xsl-fo code :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master margin-right="1cm" margin-left="1cm" margin-bottom="1cm" margin-top="1cm" page-width="23.999cm" page-height="21.001cm" master-name="atomique-Standard"> <fo:region-body margin-top="0cm" margin-bottom="0cm"/> </fo:simple-page-master> </fo:layout-master-set> <fo:page-sequence force-page-count="no-force" master-reference="atomique-Standard" id="atomique-Standard"> <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">

<fo:table table-layout="fixed" text-align="left" inline-progression-dimension="5.001cm+0.001cm"> <fo:table-column column-width="5.001cm"/>

<fo:table-header> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell padding="0.097cm" border="0.002cm solid #ff0000">

<fo:block color="#000000" font-family="sans-serif" font-size="12pt" font-weight="bold"> Title </fo:block >

               </fo:table-cell>
            </fo:table-row>
         </fo:table-header>

<fo:table-body>

<fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell padding="0.097cm" border-top="none" border="0.002cm solid #000000"> <fo:block> <fo:block color="#000000" font-family="sans-serif" font-size="12pt" font-weight="bold"> data </fo:block> </fo:block> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row>




         </fo:table-body>
      </fo:table>	
   </fo:flow>
				
				
</fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>

I can't see what is wrong in this code.

But look at the text data; it is embedded into two nested blocks : <fo:block> <fo:block color="#000000" font-family="sans-serif" font-size="12pt" font-weight="bold"> data </fo:block> </fo:block>

If I get rid of this extra block (the outer one, which comes from a complex XSLT algorithm), the problem disappears.

My Question : before posting a bug report to Apache/FOP, I would be pleased if somebody could tell me if it is really a bug, or if I have missed something in the XSL-FO spec.
