--- Comment #15 from Christophe Strobbe <c_strobbe-fdo at yahoo.co.uk> ---
This issue is not resolved. I assume that its status was set to "Resolved" due
to a misunderstanding of what this is about. It is explicitly about the option
"Allow ROW to break across pages and columns" and not about the related option
(also on the Text Flow tab of the Table Properties dialog) "Allow TABLE to
split across pages and columns".

When a page break occurs within a table row, a screen reader will treat it as
two separate rows, i.e. one on the first page and one on the following page.
This can completely mess up the meaning of the table and render it
near-incomprehensible to a screen-reader user.

To check whether the issue is still present, I have reset my LibreOffice
profile (as explained at
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/General/110#Resolving_corruption ) in
LibreOffice 7.1.4.2 on Windows 10, created a table and checked the table
properties. The setting "Allow ROW to break across pages and columns" was
enabled by default.

(I actually teach colleagues and other people how to create accessible
documents and need to point out each time that this setting needs to be
disabled for accessibility reasons.)

For this reason, I'm setting this issue but to "NEW" again.
