FastReport KeepHeader/KeepFooter properties ignored

Question

I have a (very) simple sample report, the goal is to keep header/masterdata/footer bands together on the same page, so if they wont fit on the current page want them to move to a new, empty page. According to the FR user manual I supposed to set the KeepHeader/KeepFooter properties to True, no luck. Could anyone tell me please what do I miss here?

sample report:

I have received reply from FastReport support, in case if anyone else facing the same problem here is the answer:

Hello,

KeepHeader - Determines if the band (first record) will be printed together with its header KeepFooter - Determines if the band (last record) will be printed together with its footer Also, start keepeng don't works when ReportTitle band printed only So, you should use TfrxMasterData with RowCount = 1 instead of TfrxReportTitle and TfrxGroupHeader instead of TfrxHeader.
