Apache FOP: Known Issues
Known issues
This page lists currently known issues in the FOP codebase. Please note that this list is generated from data in FOP's code repository (Trunk) and may not exactly represent the list of issues in the latest release.
For additional information on known issues in Apache FOP, please have a look at the following pages, too:
Apache FOP has an extensive automated testing infrastructure. Parts of this infrastructure are several sets of test cases. When a test case is listed in disabled-testcases.xml it is disabled in the JUnit tests during the normal build process. This indicates a problem in the current codebase. When a bug is fixed or a missing feature is added the entry for the relevant test case(s) are removed.
FO Tree
This section lists currently disabled test cases in the test suite for the FO tree tests. The data for this section comes from test/fotree/disabled-testcases.xml.
demo-test-failure.fo (demo test failure):
TODO: Add missing description in disabled-testcases.xml!
block-progression-dimension_negative.fo (Negative values on block-progression-dimension):
The code currently doesn't set negative values to 0mpt as mandated by the spec.
inline-progression-dimension_negative.fo (Negative values on inline-progression-dimension):
The code currently doesn't set negative values to 0mpt as mandated by the spec.

authorization.
footnote_space-resolution.xml (Space Resolution in foot note area):

inline-container will get swallowed.

on table-cells, yet.
table-column_first-row-width.xml (No table column setup based on the first row.):

The code should be ok, but the test case uses shorthands and therefore
is probably not expressing the indended outcome according to the spec. The test
case should be revisited.
