If the caption is placed below the table then it appears only if the table fits on one page, but not if it spans across multiple pages:

<caption style="caption-side:bottom">some table</caption>

Whereas placing the caption above the table works as expected:

<caption>some table</caption>

With this one the caption shows below the table on the last page - however, I would expect it to show below the table on all pages:

<caption style="caption-side:bottom;prince-caption-page:all">some table</caption>

Contrast with this where the caption is correctly placed above the table on all of the pages:

<caption style="prince-caption-page:all">some table</caption>

Using Prince 10 on Debian "Jessie".

This seems to work for me; please see the attached sample documents below.

Is there some other style on the table or its container that could be causing trouble?

Yes. Cutting away from my document, I got the minimal example attached. Removing from that example the html padding (which is only for the browser version of the document, anyway) makes the problem go away - but only in that minimal example, not in my actual document. In my actual document, removing the page size specification makes the problem go away - but not in the minimal example I managed to create. So my problem is solved unless I want to print in a non-default page size - though it is still weird that sometimes the caption drops out of the page area.

Thanks, that's very helpful. We will investigate this issue.
