Yes, I see the problem, that's a good observation (compared to the
bugreport, just saying "layout is corrupted", which is unhelpful).

The general approach is to find out what's worng with the result: I
guess some rows have either a "break page before this row" or "don't
allow this row to split accross pages" property enabled, which can cause
such issues. Once you know how to correct the result manually, you can
look into the code to make the importer do it by default.

HTH,
