Blank rows in Doc Merge PDF template

Question

We have a template that used this logic successfully within wDocs. Nevertheless, during the transition to Doc merge, it now fills in all the product lines on the quote. I've wrote a new simple code that only populates the products if they meet specific criteria; however, I'm encountering persistent blank rows that have proven quite challenging to eliminate. 
 
 Any suggestions on how to eliminate the blank rows would be greatly appreciated! 
 
 Thanks in advance

 {#products sort='cattest_c:desc'}
{if cattest_c=='Accessories'} {product_template_name.name}
{elseif cattest_c!='Accessories'}
{endif}
{/products}

Hi Chris Raffle I raised a support case with Sugar and received the feedback below. I added a 3-column page layout between page breaks to the doc merge document template which resolved my issue. 
 
 "Our developers reviewed this issue and was not able to find a workaround. I suspect the current functionality causes table rows sharing the same relationship collections (related loops) to link to the same sub-rows (lines) in a table row (similar to how line items render on a Quote). I went ahead and filed 2 Issues: one outlining the blank rows and another I found when trying to work around the issue: https://portal.sugarondemand.com/#supp_Bugs/93326 https://portal.sugarondemand.com/#supp_Bugs/93325 One key detail I found was that this issue seemed to be limited to tables sharing the same row. When using collections outside of a table, the blank rows did not render. I'm afraid I was not able to find any workarounds to this issue except by not using a table. Perhaps you may be able to find a solution by using a 3 column page layout instead?"
