unnecessary call for scriptlet when band does not fit a page and has SplitTypeEnum.PREVENT split type

[AlexBb]

Hello, 

we are facing regression in jasper report version 6.20.0. 

For some unknown reason scriptlet is executed twice for element that place in a band that does not fit remaining page size. We did not face with this issue in 6.4.3. Could you please help to resolve this issue. Reproduction path:

public class JasperRepro {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws JRException, FileNotFoundException {
        JasperDesign myDesign = new JasperDesign();
        myDesign.setName("my name");
        myDesign.setScriptletClass("CaptionScriptlet");
        myDesign.setPageHeight(500);
        JRDesignStyle jasperStyle = new JRDesignStyle();
        jasperStyle.setName("my style");
        jasperStyle.setFontSize(72F);
        myDesign.addStyle(jasperStyle);

        JRDesignSection details = (JRDesignSection) myDesign.getDetailSection();

        JRDesignBand firstPageBand = new JRDesignBand();
        firstPageBand.setHeight(300);
        details.addBand(firstPageBand);

        JRDesignBand secondBand = new JRDesignBand();
        //Scriptlet is executed twice when band has SplitTypeEnum.PREVENT split type
        secondBand.setSplitType(SplitTypeEnum.PREVENT);
        //We expect that elements will be stretched with setTextAdjust(TextAdjustEnum.STRETCH_HEIGHT);
        //Band has 2 elements with TextAdjustEnum.STRETCH_HEIGHT, one of element of them has configured scriptlet
        //Defining minimum possible height
        secondBand.setHeight(2);

        JRDesignTextField element = new JRDesignTextField();
        element.setExpression(new JRDesignExpression("\"" + JRStringUtil.escapeJavaStringLiteral("test") + "\""));
        //minimal possible height, elements will be stretched with setTextAdjust(TextAdjustEnum.STRETCH_HEIGHT);
        element.setHeight(1);
        element.setY(0);
        element.setWidth(400);
        element.setStyle(jasperStyle);
        element.setPositionType(PositionTypeEnum.FLOAT);
        element.setTextAdjust(TextAdjustEnum.STRETCH_HEIGHT);
        secondBand.addElement(element);

        //Scriptlet which executed twice
        String myScriptlet = "((" + CaptionScriptlet.class.getName() + ")$P{REPORT_SCRIPTLET})";
        JRDesignTextField elementWithScriptlet = new JRDesignTextField();
        elementWithScriptlet.setExpression(new JRDesignExpression(String.format("%s.addCaption(\"%s\")", myScriptlet, "times scriptlet is executed: ")));

        //minimal possible height, elements will be stretched with setTextAdjust(TextAdjustEnum.STRETCH_HEIGHT);
        elementWithScriptlet.setHeight(1);
        elementWithScriptlet.setWidth(400);
        elementWithScriptlet.setY(1);
        elementWithScriptlet.setPositionType(PositionTypeEnum.FLOAT);
        elementWithScriptlet.setStyle(jasperStyle);
        elementWithScriptlet.setTextAdjust(TextAdjustEnum.STRETCH_HEIGHT);
        secondBand.addElement(elementWithScriptlet);
        details.addBand(secondBand);

        //EXPORT to pdf

        JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(myDesign);
        JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, new HashMap<>(), new JREmptyDataSource());
        JRPdfExporter exporter = new JRPdfExporter();
        exporter.setExporterInput(new SimpleExporterInput(jasperPrint));
        exporter.setExporterOutput(new SimpleOutputStreamExporterOutput(new FileOutputStream("c:\\dev\\my.pdf")));
        SimplePdfExporterConfiguration configuration = new SimplePdfExporterConfiguration();
        configuration.setPermissions(PdfWriter.AllowCopy | PdfWriter.AllowPrinting);
        exporter.setConfiguration(configuration);
        exporter.exportReport();
    }
}

public class CaptionScriptlet extends JRDefaultScriptlet {

    private int number = 0;

    public String addCaption(String caption) {
        return caption + " " + ++number;
    }
}
