Table with baseline grid keeps expanding

[Diana Probst]

I've got a table with several different formats in the cells, and I'd like it to be aligned neatly to the baseline grid, but it keeps jumping around, recalculating, and generally playing nasty.  Even changing the bottom border to try to get text to butt up against it can force a recalculation that does something like the below, where big holes appear in the middle.  The table gets bigger and smaller and won't stay at the size I want it to be, and the top moves up or down lines as it decides.  The cell sizes are obviously trying to be helpful, but they're not, and if I tweak anything, something else falls apart.

I've got 0 spacing top and bottom in each of the cells, and it just collapses down or expands with any move I make.  I could float the tables, but I don't want to go through and refloat every single table that I have.

Is there a thing I should be looking at, or looking into?

My thanks in advance.

Hi @Diana Probst Apologies for the late response,

If you're still having issues with this could you possibly provide a sample file, or a smaller section/page from a larger document? This will help us explore possible solutions and provide clarity on what may be happening here.

Many thanks

As requested.  I have been using a work-around, but I reconstructed the problem and it's still there.  I'm pinning instead of inlining, so you don't need to hurry anything for me.

Let me know if I can help you further.

Many thanks, based on the behaviour observed with the sample file I'd say this is a bug with the Inline tables and document baseline grids, I'll get this logged with the developers for further investigation.

As you've found, pinning helps mitigate this erratic text flow behaviour.

*floating, but yes.

Thanks for your help.  It's good to know this will be looked at.
