Description
Description
stack(dir: ltr, ...) exhibits some weird behavior when breaking across pages. The following example is from catte on Discord:
#set page(height: 10cm)
#let col = stack(dir: ttb, ..(red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple).map(c => rect(fill: c, height: 2cm)))
#stack(dir: ltr, col, col)
which produces
A user would expect that if this pagebreaks at all, it would page break like a grid. I think it would also be reasonable for horizontally-stacked items to be treated as if they were in a non-breakable block.

Run the provided Typst reproduction with the 10cm page height and inspect the stack layout and page-breaking behavior. Done means the horizontal stack no longer breaks unexpectedly, following an agreed grid-like or non-breakable-block interpretation.
