Description

I have the latest version of the companion app installed, and am using QuestPDF 2026.8.0. There seems to be an issue with page breaks. Any content after the first page break in the document is not rendered, leaving just empty pages. If I open the outline and click on an element that is not visible, however, it seems to trigger the app to actually render the content, and afterwards it is visible. When the content hot-reloads, everything after the page break is blank again until I perform the aforementioned procedure.

Would really appreciate some assistance getting this resolved, as apart from this issue the companion app is a really great experience to use!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the blank content after the first page break, including a hot reload and the outline-click workaround. No file or test is named; done means content after page breaks renders automatically after initial load and hot reload without opening the outline.
