Description Karl Eichwalder 2004-10-05 06:29:37 UTC 
FOP loops if provisional-distance-between-starts of fo:list-block elements in
nested fo:block elements is too large.  You can encounter such situation if you
use nested DocBook variable lists (variablelist) with longish term elements.

FOP reports: "[INFO] area contents overflows area in line" 

Maybe, http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26163 is related.  I'm
going to attach a test case.

Comment 4 Karl Eichwalder 2004-10-05 06:47:34 UTC 
To reproduce the error run:

xsltproc --nonet -o good.fo customize-fo.xsl varlistentry-good.xml
xsltproc --nonet -o bad.fo customize-fo.xsl varlistentry-bad.xml

The difference is; good.fo (3em):
provisional-distance-between-starts="3em * 0.60+1em" 

bad.fo (23em):
provisional-distance-between-starts="23em * 0.60+1em" 

I'm told you can avoid the error using a stylesheet customization; but
nevertheless it would be nice if FOP would report a fatal error instead of the loop.

Fixed in FOP 0.94 and probably earlier versions
Comment 6 Glenn Adams 2012-04-01 07:09:21 UTC 
batch transition pre-FOP1.0 resolved+fixed bugs to closed+fixed
