Jasper reports - pagination issues - jasper-reports

Question

I am having the following issue with paging in Jasper Reports:
I have a report based on the results of a MySql query. Each page corresponds to one row returned from MySql. Basically the text field on the details page prints a long text or a clob.
I have added a page break at the end of the "details" section.
However:
If I use "split type" as "Immediate," the page break does not happen for any page that "overflows." In other words, if a text runs over over into two pages, the next record starts on page two itself instead of page three
If I use "split type" as "Prevent," an extra page break happens for all the records except for those that have very short text. The extra page causes several blank pages to be printed.
Needless to say, any help would be deeply appreciated!
