Build Identifier: M20100909-0800 Whenever a Table is added to a report, either by dragging a Data Set or a Table element from the Palette to the Layout, the default value for Page Break Interval is set to 40. Not only is such an arbitrary value never likely to be correct for a given report, but it's very easy to forget to change it to the desired value which is almost always 0. I've often gotten all the way to deploying a report without noticing the problem, then realizing I forgot something when a user complains about a pagination problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new report. 2. Drag a Data Set or Table from the Palette to the Layout. 3. Select the newly-added table, then the Page Break tab in the Property Editor.
The default page break interval is determined according to our experiences. It always generate 40 data rows into one page in PDF format if using the default settings. The pagination is useful and somehow required since we can't generate too much content into one page in html, pdf and so on. So that this requirement that change the default page break interval into 0 is invalid.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate for the Default Page Break Interval to be configurable in the Report Design Preferences, rather than hard-coded. I'm not sure what category would be most appropriate - perhaps Layout. I have reopened this as an enhancement request.
