So I'm using structured FM, and I've noticed that when I have a figure on one page and a table on the next page, the figure title gets pushed down to the next page (see attached image).
Why is this happening? How can I fix it?

I figured it out when I turned on View Text Symbols.
Tables have anchors in text lines (similar to anchored frames). If you insert a table outside of any text element, the table is automatically anchored in the element directly above it. FM will keep the table with it’s anchor in spite of any other breaks or group settings that may be applied.
I fixed the issue by inserting invisible text elements right above the table.
