Screenshot showing problem as described

Problem description: When a table made in Writer reaches down to the border, a
new page will be created, even at the end of a document, when no further
content is to follow; that page cannot be removed. No major issue, but looks
stupid.

The problem is that Writer creates a new line under each table, of course in
your chosen font and size. When it won't  fit under the table, it will go to a
new page. Seems logic, but if there's nothing more to come you won't need a new
page.
Workaround: setting font size of the empty line to 1 will usually make it small
enough, so that the page goes away.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Insert a table to Writer that fills the whole page
2. In my case footers were enabled, don't know if they are needed to reproduce
3. Get a new page (see attachment), try to remove it -> won't go away

Expected behavior: New page created only when new content begins
