I have a problem using multirow along with text wrapping when spanning cell contains a lot of text. Here is my code:
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{longtable,array,booktabs,multirow}
\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}{@{} m{3cm} m{3cm} m{3cm} @{}} \toprule[0.04cm]
Lorem & Lorem & Lorem \\ \midrule[0.04cm]
Lorem ipsum & \multirow{2}{3cm}{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.} & Lorem ipsum \\ \cmidrule{1-1}\cmidrule{3-3}
Lorem ipsum & & Lorem ipsum \\ \midrule
Lorem ipsum & Lorem ipsum & Lorem ipsum \\ \bottomrule[0.04cm]
\end{longtable}
\begin{longtable}{@{} m{3cm} m{3cm} m{3cm} @{}} \toprule[0.04cm]
Lorem & Lorem & Lorem \\ \midrule[0.04cm]
Lorem ipsum & \multirow{2}{3cm}{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.} & Lorem ipsum \\ \cmidrule{1-1}\cmidrule{3-3}
Lorem ipsum & & Lorem ipsum \\ \midrule
Lorem ipsum & Lorem ipsum & Lorem ipsum \\ \bottomrule[0.04cm]
\end{longtable}
\end{document}
The only difference between these tables is the text length in multirow cell. The first table looks fine, but the second has some overlap:
Wrapping text in parbox doesn't help. Is there any universal way to set a proper height and vertical alignment for that cell? That code is a part of automatic report-generator, so text length in the spanning cell may vary.
