The problem appears to be with text fields, and any other fields other then portals as well. I did a simple test db, brand new w/8 text fields, and same problem. Sliding up does not work very well when it comes to page margins and fields overlaping from page to page. Assume test with huge fields and little data in them as well as small fields and lots of data.
It is not just portals, oh and all the books i read say portals should work ok, they do on first page just fine, but onec anything spans more then one page, it is a problem.
