Type: Bug Report

When rendering reports with complex tables/crosstabs to PPTX, the layout of the generated document is incorrect.

If cells grow or shrink, if there are hidden cells, any time a report section grows vertically, the next section/table is not respecting the growing of the previous item and text prints in the wrong spot or the table overlaps the previous table.

A potential workaround is to manually convert the troublesome tables to lists where possible.

Momchil,

I have privately provided three additional reports to use in testing. I did this through a support ticket as you requested.

Original Ticket with 1 report example: #1620479
New Ticket with 3 additional examples: #1623270

I hope these 4 report examples can assist in testing. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thank You,

John

Thank You Momchil. I will open up a personal support ticket and include three more reports for your testing. Even though we are providing inline test data, we prefer to keep our designs private. I need a day or so to get the reports ready for your testing.

Thank You for your assistance,

John

If this bug gets picked up as one to fix, I can provide a few more example design files with inline data to aid in testing. We have found this behavior on 4 reports.
