PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

When some rows in a table are merged down the height of the rows is not automatically increased to fit the text or image in the merged cell.

The issue occour in PDFsharp-MigraDoc-GDI Version="6.0.0"
It did work perfectly in PDFsharp-MigraDoc-GDI Version="1.50.5147"

I there any way to get around this?

This should still work.

Here is some sample code

public void Test2()
{
Document document = new Document();
Section section = document.AddSection();

Table table = new Table();
table.Borders.Width = 0.75;

table.AddColumn("1cm");
table.AddColumn("2cm");
table.AddColumn("8cm");

Row row1 = table.AddRow();
table.AddRow();
table.AddRow();

table.Rows[0].Cells[2].MergeDown = 2;

row1.Cells[2].AddParagraph("slædkæl ækd la lsæakdlæas k dlskad lkslæd ksal dkaslkd lasækd laæs slædkasældk æsldlsakdælsakd laskdl ksa ldklaskdælaksld ksaæ saldk læsakdæl skdælskaldksaældkasældklæaskdl sald lsæakdlæas k dlskad lkslæd ksal dkaslkd lasækd laæs slædkasældk æsldlsakdælsakd laskdl ksa ldklaskdælaksld ksaæ saldk læsakdæl skdælskaldksaældkasældklæaskdl sald lsæakdlæas k dlskad lkslæd ksal dkaslkd lasækd laæs ldklaskdælaksld ksaæ saldk læsakdæl skdælskaldksaældkasældklæaskdl sald lsæakdlæas k dlskad lkslæd ksal dkaslkd lasækd laæs ");

It is a bug. Thanks for the feedback.
Row height is correct with MergeDown = 1.
Problem occurs with MergeDown = 2 and MergeDown = 3. Most likely any value greater than 1 will show that bug.

If your requirements allow to work with MergeDown = 1, then the bug will not affect you.
I don't know when this bug will be fixed.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

I have exactly the same problem. Are there any news or a workaround?

The bug was not fixed yet.

It may work if you add a zero-width dummy column to the table - no contents, no borders, no MergeDown on the dummy column.
