I’ve found that the “Keep with Next Paragraph” style attribute does work for me if I use only single-column frames.  I was using one two-column frame per page, and every instance I noticed  of a lone paragraph that should have been pushed to the next column was at the bottom of a first column.  I never saw this error at the bottom of the last column of a frame.  So, I changed all my documents to use two narrower single-column frames per page, and there were no more errors.  Possibly such a workaround would help with the other “Widows and Orphans” features.

I did poke around a bit in the source file pageitem_textframe.cpp, where adjustParagraphEndings() seemed a promising place to start, but then I found the single-column frame workaround.
