SRB: Keep Together doesn't seem to be working

[ScottP]

Hey all!

Attached is a screenshot of a report I am creating in Base with SRB 1.2.1.
In the Detail properties, I have "Keep Together" marked as "Yes" but as you can see in the screen shot, my detail section is not kept together when it prints.

Do I misunderstand the purpose of Keep Together, or did I find a bug?
Thanks!

This is known old bug, not solved until now

[ScottP]

Are you saying the bug is now fixed? Your shows flavors of sarcasm, but I can't be sure.

[r4zoli]

Not fixed, sorry for for wrong wording.

As you have discovered setting 'Keep Together' in the 'Properties Pane' to 'Yes' has no effect.
However if you open the 'Sorting and Grouping' window 'Ctrl+G'.
Select the relevant group then to the right of 'Keep Together' select 'Whole Group'.
I hope this works for you it does for me.

I'm running 4.0 and apparently this bug has yet to be addressed(the "keep together" button in Properties has no effect) I went looking for this and saw the posting from 3 years ago. Really? 3 years? Hmm.... Going to go back to my project and try it. Thanks, ChrisB.

The developer for Sun/Oracle Report Builder dropped out of the project a few years ago. No bugs will be fixed (and no more features, and probably more bugs will happen with future versions of AOO) unless a programmer takes over the project.

I think LibreOffice has incorporated the SRB inside of LibreOffice and is continuing the development that way. If you use reports a lot, you might explore switching to LibreOffice instead of AOO.
