Report Designer CanShrink/Shifting Issue

[BCS]

I'm trying to get values in the data band that are set as null or empty to shrink, I got them to hide already. However as you can see in the report the empty space remains. I would expect "Warnings" to be nearly flush, not empty space.

Can you describe to me how to shrink the empty space, CanShrink and Shifting have mixed results. If possible can you modify my report to reflect that with your explanation. I believe this is v2020.2.2. I'm also using the report designer app for Mac.

Note: You will have to re-import the JSON file.

Hello,

In that case, the optimal solution - is using DockStyle=Top or additional ChildBand components.

Thank you.

Almost there, this works okay but on the PDF export its cutting the text off unfortunately?

Hello,

Please clarify how do you export to pdf?

Also, please to check the last release build.

Thank you.

Save->Adobe PDF, I did it thru the Desktop designer if that makes a difference... I have not tried it yet via the JS in an app

I believe this solved all the issues.

Actually looking closer, it appears that components aren't following the set font, these are fields with no HTML Tags allowed and are set to Arial 12pt but if you hover the browser dev tools over it, it says that its Arial 16pt. This is the Description field for instance. This is at 100% zoom, if I zoom to 75% its correct... Is this working as intended?

The issue ended up being the style that was set in the Conditions dialog, it has its own font, size, etc settings that are applied if the condition is triggered.

At the moment we are trying to deal with an issue with our HTML editor inserting new <p> tags every time we press enter, each time it'll create a <p><br><p> which cause huge spacing issues due to the inherit padding of a <p> tag. I don't think there is anything you guys can do about this though.
