variables list on parameters panel not populated / bookmarks don't show / colour of graph not saved

Hello,
Reports fx is a great tool which saves me lots of time.
At the moment I have 3 issues in the designer, which don't work in the viewer as I would expect.
1. No population of list variables on parameters panel
In the edit variable screen I select: Type 'string' and 'List', and 'Request from user'.
As data source I select 'Data Columns', next I select the field names for Keys and Values.
On the parameters panel of the viewer, the variable only shows [empty value]. It is not populated with the data of the table.
I experimented with different field types and single pass/double pass, but I see no changes.
When I use 'items' as data source, it works as expected.
Perhaps you have an working example of the setup with data columns?
2. Bookmarks don't show
On a databand I select a table field in the interaction/Bookmark property. But the bookmark does not show up in the bookmark panel of the viewer.
An example of this feature would be nice also.
3. Saving colour of series of chart
I use clustered bar graph. In the series property in the Appearance/Brush I select 'Gradient'. Next I change the End Color and Start color.
It works shiny and beautiful! But after I save and quit the .mrt file, these changes are not stored. A bug?
Any ideas on these issues?
Thank you in advance.
André
