Entire cvitem moves to a new page, if the number of lines exceed.

How do I prevent a cvitem from from moving to a new page, because of it's size, in the experience section?

I'm having a similar issue but instead of a new page, the titles in the experience section move to the center

cventry is a tabular* and the expected behavior is that it will not break the table across pages. cvitems within the cventry are part of the tabular*.

Spanning multiple pages and keeping a table environment would require the use of longtable / longtabu.

@OJFord: #288, #331, and #341 are duplicates in so far as they are all issues related to the behavior of tabular* and a desire to implement a longtable version.

I'm having the same issue with a long publication list and am not sure how to apply longtable.

Temporary solution:
Split into several cvhonors.

\cvsection{Publications}

\begin{cvhonors}
............
\end{cvhonors}

\begin{cvhonors}
............
\end{cvhonors}

As far as I know this is expected behavior for tabular* and a "proper" solution is implementing one of the fixes mentioned above.

Hi everyone, an alternative solution that I use can be found in longtable section 5 pg 7 .

Apparently

\begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{@{\extracolsep{...}}...}

is equivalent to

\setlength\LTleft{0pt}
\setlength\LTright{0pt}
\begin{longtable}{@{\extracolsep{...}}...}

So just replace if you want to use longtable. It's NOT a perfect fix, but may be helpful.

I tried implementing the solution shared by @h31nr1ch. While it fixed the issue with tables not breaking with page breaks, it introduced some issues such as extra space between rows and subsection headings.

Therefore, I've adjusted it as follows:

% Define an environment for cventry
\newenvironment{cventries_ltb}{%
  \vspace{\acvSectionContentTopSkip}
  \setlength{\LTleft}{0pt}
  \setlength{\LTright}{0pt}
  \setlength{\LTpre}{0pt}
  \setlength{\LTpost}{-5pt}
  \begin{longtable}{@{\extracolsep{\fill}} R{3.3cm} L{\textwidth - 3.7cm}}
    }{%
  \end{longtable}
}

\newcommand*{\addedu}[4]{%
  \entrydatestyle{#4} & \entrypositionstyle{#1} \hfill \entrylocationstyle{#3}\\
  & \entrytitlestyle{#2} \\
}

Observations:

• Keep the table environment separate.
• Avoid enclosing the table within a \begin{center} element.
• Use approx. -5pt for the \LTpost to remove extra spacing with subsections.

I hope this helps. I might be wrong or missing some easy solution, but so far I can only make this work.
