JasperReports-Subreport spanning multiple pages introdcues blank page

Jasper reports introduces a blank page just before a sub report when the band element split type is set to prevent.  The issue has been notices since I started using Jasper Reports 4.x.  Tried different settings, and different options.  Have been updating to the latest version, but without luck.  Since blank page in the middle of the report was not acceptable, had been researching for a solution.  Finally I stumbled across the link:

Finally after implementing the post fangebault on October 11, 2013 - 8:51am, blank page doesnot show up in the middle of the report anymore.

It's awful bug. When you have many rows with big height document become to long and with a lot of empty space, because each big row transferred to the next page, and only after that is splitted.
When it will be fixed? 5 years open - JasperSoft ignore us?
