textarea being duplicated instead of split/moved to next page

#38345

When the text in my textarea is too long/near the bottom of a page, the form element is created twice instead of being split or only on the second page. It seems PD4ML recognizes it may not fully fit on the “first” page so it recreates it on the “second” page, but now it’s duplicated and not respecting the footer.

@PD4ML can you please address this?

How can we move/split the textarea?

Hi! As a temporal workaround an applying “page-break-inside: avoid” style to the textarea should help.
In the next maintenance release we plan to fix the issue.

Unfortunately this is not working. I even tried with @media pdf. To ensure it is reading this CSS, I set the textarea border to 5px solid blue and see that in the generated PDF, but the textarea is still being duplicated on the two pages.

We’ll try to fix the issue in one of the forthcoming snapshot builds

The current build partially solves the problem: it ensures that it does not create duplicate textareas.

In our test cases, “page-break-inside: Avoid” helps, but due to the inline nature of the textarea element, there may be nuances. If it does not go to the next page, try wrapping the textarea in a

and applying a style to it
