Report columns misaligned

[Djobydjoba]

Hi Mark,

Sometimes the columns become misaligned in my (custom) reports. This often occurs when playing with the Exchange Rate Adjusted option on /off (Ctrl+X).

I can even say this bug is systematic just for now. Playing with Ctrl+X repeatedly causes random results in alignment.

But I've restarted FM and the bug is gone...

Hi Djobydjoba,

If you see this issue come back, please check the following:

1) Do you have more than 1 Custom report window open? If you do, try closing all but 1 of the Custom report windows, and see if that fixes it.

2) When you see it happen, if you simply resize the problematic window, forcing it to re-draw, does that clear up that window?

Mark,

1) Do you have more than 1 Custom report window open?

Yes, you're right. Seems it can occur when two or more custom reports are open.
I can reproduce now, but it depends on which custom reports are open.

try closing all but 1 of the Custom report windows, and see if that fixes it.

Yes, that fixes it.

if you simply resize the problematic window, forcing it to re-draw, does that clear up that window?

Yes.

Hi Djobydjoba,

Thanks. The source of the issue here is that Custom reports memorize column sizes globally, and not on a per-report basis. That means if you have field X in multiple Custom reports, the last place you (or the automatically sizing algorithm) sets the width for field X in any Custom report, that will apply to all Custom reports with field X. If a report window gets partially re-drawn you can sometimes get drawing artifacts like this. It is usually pretty rare though.
