    CS5 vanishing table rows

    E Diane King Community Member

      I've been dealing with a weird bug in CS5 since installing the application. In just about every document that contains a table flowing to multiple pages, I have problems with rows of the table just vanishing from the screen. The story sees them as still there because the next page shows the next page worth of rows, with the blank page in between containing invisible rows, that can sometimes be selected by not seen. If I adjust the text frame on the page prior to the invisible rows, the rows will reappear and the next page in the flow will go blank. Deleting and reflowing the table will sometimes fix the problem for awhile, but it will eventually begin to happen again.  All of the files up until today that I've been working with were brought into CS5 via IDML from CS3, but today, I tried creating a new document and flowing a problematic table into it, and, after only a few edits to the table, I ran into the problem again. Converting the table to text and back to table does not resolve the issue either. This is getting really frustrating. My co-worker who also deals with long tables on a regular basis also has run into the vanishing row problem. Just curious if anyone else has seen it and if anyone has a solution. I'm not entirely sure which series of steps creates the issue, but I do know that it is editing content in an existing table that starts the behavior.

          An additional note to my original post . . . the vanishing row behavior seems to start around page 15.  If the document (and table) is shorter than 15 pages, I don't see the behavior, but as soon as I add the 15th page, edits to the table cause the next page or column of rows to vanish.
