Hi all,
in my PDFs the table has a page-break with table heading.
But stupidly the last small 'line' of the first page before the table breakes, makes what it wants. Sometimes the last table line is bold, sometimes it is a double-line.
Is there a way to set the break behaviour of the last line in CSS?

whow, that bug still exist with Flare 2017 R3.

So I try this, hope it works:

Close Flare.
In Explorer, navigate to your project folder.
Delete the Analyzer and Output folders.
Delete the Users folder.
