I have many reports that hide/show columns based on either parameters or user input. When columns are hidden the body size is not recalculated and also cannot be set through expressions. This leads to at best extra blank pages when reports are printed, at worst reports that cannot be embedded as subreports into other reports because they off-set the elements around them when the area into which they are inserted automatically resizes
rendering. This should be considered a bug the current release (2005).
Is there any chance of this making it into the
version (either that the renderer recalculates the body width or that expressions could be used in fields such as body width)?
