Re: [Rlib-devel] Re: Buglet in detail layout on first page

[William K. V. <wk...@us...>]

Hello Bob,
	I continued to use the patch I had made to get_output_size
which took into account the size of horizontal lines, I added to
that to have it also account for Images.  The reason I continued
with my patch was it fixes my reports for now.  The implication
from your response below was there was another way to solve
the problem.  Since you are the architect you best would know
how to implement a fix (which I'm eagerly waiting to test :-).
One thing that I wanted to point out with my update was that
somewhere there appears to be a double accounting of the space
taken for the page footer.  This showed up with the Image being
outside of a Line object.

Does that clarify things?

Cheers,
William.
