library.pdf - Chapter 8.8.3 deals with Standard Encodings. There is a
long table which is massively overshooting the bottom of the page (page
110) in the PDF-A4 version. About 35 rows in the table get completely
lost - compared to the HTML version at
http://docs.python.org/library/codecs.html.

Can also be seen on 3.0rc1 if the PDF documents are built 'by hand'.

Another example is chapter 16.8.3 GENERIC OPERATING SYSTEM
SERVICES::curses — Terminal handling for character-cell
displays::Constants. The table on page 442 again misses about 35 entries
completely.

There are some interesting remarks about long tables at

I checked the current 2.6.2 documentation today (2nd September 2009):
the tables are not cut off at the bottom any more, but the layout is
still not optimal. The column width could be calculated more
efficiently. The column named "Aliases" is too wide and forces the
column "Languages" too far to the right.

New changeset 3ae74b361f53 by Georg Brandl in branch '3.3':
Closes #4159: add LaTeX tabular column specifications to tables that otherwise are cut off or have overlapping text.
