This is so frustrating. Ever since Apple has been making updates to Pages, taking away features and moving the cheese around, my documents created in Pages now look different AGAIN, after upgrading to Yosemite.

This time, documents with long tables now behave completely differently than before.

I have a document where there are several long tables that span multiple pages, with a topic header before each table. Normally the table will follow the header, and when it gets too long for the page, will just continue on to the next page. So far so good. With the most recent Pages' behavior, this is no longer the case. My table will automatically start from a new page, leaving the topic header all by itself on a single page, almost appearing as a blank page. Why would anyone considers this an acceptable way of doing things I don't know, but this would appear to me as a bug.

Tables that aren't long enough to span more than one page appear fine.

Example before:

+------------------+
| Table A
|
| 1 2 3
| 4 5 6
+------------------+

+------------------+
| 7 8 9
| 1 2 3
| 4 5 6
| 7 8 9
+------------------+


Example after:

+------------------+
| Table A
|
|
|
+------------------+

+------------------+
| 1 2 3
| 4 5 6
| 7 8 9
| 1 2 3
+------------------+

+------------------+
| 4 5 6
| 7 8 9
|
|
+------------------+
