Description Jens Stanstrup 2002-11-29 16:44:48 UTC 
A quite large document suddenly breaks (due to an idefinite loop), works just
fine with FOP Maintain CVS from Nov 11, 2002:
 
 [INFO] [108]
 org.apache.fop.apps.FOPException: No meaningful layout in block after many
attempts.  Infinite loop is assumed.  Processing halted.
 	at org.apache.fop.fo.flow.Block.layout(Block.java:87)

Comment 1 klease 2002-12-01 16:43:58 UTC 
I also noticed this. I think it is happens because the blocks in the static
flows are composed on each page. Could perhaps also happen if you have a very
long table with headers or footers. I committed a change which makes this
problem go away, but I suspect that the looping behavior will now not be
detected either in all cases. It does still fix the bug #8878 however.

Please retest your document with latest CVS and close this bug if it is now
fixed. Thanks!

The previous comment sais that this bug is fixed for 5 years.
