When a row spans more than one page click in a part of the cell not on the first page does not place the cursor in that cell

Create a table where the rows are allowed to span multiple pages. Find a row that does span pultiple pages but where at least one cell in the row does not have data on each page - e.g. the row may start near the bottom of one page and because one cell in the row has a lot of text in it the row continues onto a second page but only one cell in that row has text in it on the second page - the rest are blank (on the second page, as what little text is in them is only on the first page.) We're looking at the cells that span the two pages - one of them has text in the portion on the second page - clicking in this cell (on the second page)positions the cursor there. The other cells are blank on the second page - clicking in the portion of them that is on the second page places the curson in the cell below, or to the side, or above (sometimes, if you have the heading row repeating). Clicking in these should place the cursor up at the beginning of the cell, up on the previous page. Having the cursor in the cell that has text on the second page and pressing a direction button on the keyboard will move the cursor to the start of the next cell along correctly, even if that takes it back to the previous page.
Created attachment 56607 [details] An example table with a row with blank cells spanning multiple pages.
MRU->AMA: clicking into the "whitespace" of a page breaking cell (like in the sample) will place the cursor in the cell below but not in the filled upper part of the cell.
