Does OCA module report_qweb_element_page_visibility leave blank spaces in Odoo 15?

In Odoo 15, I am modifying the PDF reports in order to show some info in the header at the first page, and other different info at the left pages.

To do that, I use a existing OCA module, very popular, named report_qweb_element_page_visibility. Once installed, if you set to elements classes like first-page or not-first-page, it applies the style display: none; to them depending on the page they are.

The problem is that display: none; does not hide the elements fully. They still occupy space, for example, if I have a div with a long text which has a height of 5 cm, I see 5 cm of blank space, which obviously looks awful:

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-6">
        <div class="first-page" name="left_block">
            FIRST PAGE LEFT
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-6" name="right_block">
        <div class="first-page">
            FIRST PAGE RIGHT
        </div>
        <div class="not-first-page">
            OTHER PAGE RIGHT
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

In the previous example, at the very first page, FIRST PAGE RIGHT has a blank space below it. And at the left pages, OTHER PAGE RIGHT has the blank space above it. In this example is only a line, but the more info you add, the bigger the blank space is.

Does anybody experience this? Could anybody give me a solution?

The problem was the Wkhtmltopdf library version. With the right one, the elements with display: none; do not leave blank spaces.
