           Summary: procedure steps are pulled onto next page and leave
                    white space
           Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
           Version: 5.2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium
          Priority: low
         Component: publican
        AssignedTo: jfearn at redhat.com
        ReportedBy: dmison at redhat.com
         QAContact: ecs-dev-list at redhat.com
                CC: publican-list at redhat.com
    Classification: Red Hat
    Target Release: ---


Description of problem:
Procedure steps that span a "pdf page break" no longer flow from one page to
another but instead are pulled down to the start of the next page.  This leaves
an area of white space.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.45

How reproducible:
everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a procedure so one of the steps would span a pdf page break.  The
procedure or step doesn't have to be over a page in length, it could occur
towards the bottom of a page
2. Build the pdf

Actual results:
The step is pulled down onto the next page leaving a chunk of white space on
the previous page.

Expected results:
The text of the step flows from the first page to the next (as it did in 0.44
and earlier)

Additional info:
Caused by the "fix" for bugzilla 492021

I think the reported problem from 492021 is a *content problem*, not a publican
problem.  You can't split an image over a page so any series of half page
images interspaced with a few lines of text will be a problem.

If we could control this behaviour via an attribute in the step (or procedure)
tag that would be useful.  Would also be useful in other tags too I guess
