Thanks for the report.

Able to reproduce the issue on Win7, Mac OS X 10.11.4, Ubuntu 14.04 using Chrome Stable 50.0.2661.94, Beta 51.0.2704.29, Dev 52.0.2716.0 and Canary 52.0.2723.0.

Not a regression, issue existing from M30 #30.0.1549.0, requesting Dev team to check the issue and update.

Working fine in IE 11, failed in FF 45.0.2

Moving this nonessential bug to the next milestone.

Saw overlapping text, breaks in the middle of lines, and odd spacing in both Canary (59.0.3061.0) and stable (56.0.2924.87) on Windows 10. Tried loading the page with Canary in Print Browser mode and also observed both the spacing and the overlapping text errors, so adding Blink>Layout component.

This issue has been Available for over a year. If it's no longer important or seems unlikely to be fixed, please consider closing it out. If it is important, please re-triage the issue.

Sorry for the inconvenience if the bug really should have been left as Available.

The rendering of the test file has improved significantly. Is this bug still relevant?

e.g. r415588 fixed a lot of the rendering issues here.

did you try the test file? I'm seeing p's being split across pages in canary and stable on windows

Oh yes, this issue is important. As it seems right now (Chrome 70), any kind of page break control is completely lacking in the browser. Even images inside page-break-inside:avoid div elements are split over two pages. This is completely unacceptable and makes the entire printing (or PDF export) feature of Chrome useless. (Firefox at least won't split the image over to pages but it can't be automated as nicely as Chrome.)

I also need a way to declare page break positions in a custom position:absolute layout that contains several smaller grid-like blocks that must not be split in two. This is also impossible right now.

Looks like Chrome fails because of a couple of things here. First of all, the 100% tall DIVs inside table cells. The percentage here doesn't affect non-paginated layout (and shouldn't), but it does seem to confuse pagination, and we end up breaking in the middle of lines. Setting the heights to auto instead at least makes us stop doing that. But we still don't respect break-inside:avoid on the DIVs if they are inside table cells (it does work outside of tables, FWIW). Adding tr { page-break-inside: avoid; } makes the document print as the author intended, I think.

We should fix both issues, of course.
