[xsl] 'space-after' combined with 'break-after="page"' generates blank pages

---

---

Hi,

I'm having a problem (using XSL 2.0) with a table following a figure.
I have the XSL mapped so that the figure is set in an <fo:block> with
space-after="6pt".

Then, the table is set to start with a page break.

However, I'm ending up with an extra page break after the figure,
before the table's page break, thereby creating a blank page in the
middle of the document.  The code in the [topic].fo file is as follows
(first chunk is the figure, second chunk is the beginning of the
table):


<fo:block id="unique_7_Connect_42_A63763" space-after="6pt" space-before="10pt">
<fo:block>
<fo:block font-size="10pt" font-style="normal" font-weight="bold"
keep-with-next.within-column="always" line-height="12pt"
space-after="8pt" space-before="10pt" start-indent="0pt"
line-height-shift-adjustment="disregard-shifts" font-family="Frutiger
55 Roman,Symbol,ZapfDingbats,Arial Unicode MS">Figure 12: Example
             Temperature Test Point Location
</fo:block>
<fo:inline id="unique_7_Connect_42_image_155C82608E044BCB9F2B7291DBBC5A16"><fo:external-graphic
content-width="29pc"
src="url(file:/D:/DITA_OUTPUT/temp/temp127245/12x12_5-tc-measure-point.svg)"/></fo:inline>
</fo:block>
</fo:block>

<fo:block break-after="page"/>
<fo:block xmlns:rx="http://www.renderx.com/XSL/Extensions" span="all"
start-indent="0pt">
<fo:block/>
<fo:block id="unique_7_Connect_42_A10022" space-after="12pt"
space-before="6pt"><fo:block start-indent="0pt">
<fo:table width="100%">
<fo:table-header end-indent="0pt" start-indent="0pt">
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block font-size="10pt" font-style="normal" font-weight="bold"
keep-with-next.within-column="always" line-height="12pt"
space-after="8pt" space-after.conditionality="retain"
space-before="10pt" space-before.conditionality="retain"
start-indent="0pt" line-height-shift-adjustment="disregard-shifts"
font-family="Frutiger 55 Roman,Symbol,ZapfDingbats,Arial Unicode
MS">Table 7:  Thermal Impedance
<fo:retrieve-table-marker retrieve-boundary-within-table="table"
retrieve-class-name="continued"
retrieve-position="first-including-carryover"/></fo:block>
     ...

I had thought that 'space-after' created a space after the object on
the same page, but it's as though the space-after is going on to the
next page, and then the table starts on the page after that.
Otherwise, it seems as if the break-after="page" is putting in a page
break even though the new table object was already creating a page
break.

Both Antenna House and RenderX render it the same way, so I'm assuming
it's my coding rather than any processor problem.

What it is I'm missing here?

Thanks,
Nancy Harrison
