I have created a form whose main container is a flow subform. Inside 
this flow subform are positioned subforms. All is good EXCEPT where the 
positioned subform spans a page. I have allowed pagebreaks within 
content in my positioned subforms.

When I need to add something to the top of that subform, I move all my 
fields down. Then everything goes bezerk. The moved fields do not spill 
onto the top of the next page, rather they go down to the bottom of the 
next page, leaving an almost blank page. If I select those fields and 
move them up, the subform gets bigger and bigger and bigger, spanning 
multiple pages.

I don't get it. What am I missing?

<flow>

<positioned subform>

<positioned subform>

<positioned subform>

</flow>


The form will contain buttons to add additional subforms, which is why 
the container is flowed.
