Table heading orphaned on previous page when first row is too long to fit

[jasonfevangsafe]

When the first row of a table is too long to fit on the page, it moves to the next page and orphans the table heading on the previous page. Imo the table heading should not be displayed alone on the initial page. See the unit test pdf for a visual example.

Minimal code
This behaviour is codified in a unit test, test_table_with_page_break_over_image, copied below here.

from fpdf import FPDF
pdf = FPDF()
pdf.add_page()
pdf.set_font("Times", size=16)
pdf.y = 220
with pdf.table() as table:
    for i, data_row in enumerate(TABLE_DATA[:2]):
        row = table.row()
        for j, datum in enumerate(data_row):
            if j == 2 and i > 0:
                row.cell(img=datum, img_fill_width=True)
            else:
                row.cell(datum)

Environment

• Operating System: Windows
• Python version: 3.12.2
• • fpdf2 version used: 2.8.2
