Our requirement is to display a logo on the right side of the report header. Putting a panel in the header and aligning it to the right only works during design time. If the report layout is changed while viewing from portrait to landscape, the logo does not stay docked to the right edge.
1. Is this a limitation of the docking mechanism?
2. Is there a plan to fix it?
3. Is there any workaround for this we can do in the code (manually update the position based on some event)?

Hi Thys,
What do you mean by "report layout is changed while viewing from portrait to landscape". How do you change the view from portrait to landscape while the report is running?
I did some tests with Docking and setting Anchor and it went well in my case. Read about these properties in this article: http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/designing-reports-dynamic-layout.html
I hope it helps.

At design time the page setup can be a specific size and layout.
What I refer to is that when the user views the report in the report viewer, there is an option ("Page Setup" in the toolbar) to change the report size and orientation. If a logo or text field is aligned to the right hand side of the header we need it to still be like this after the change to the layout / page size.
The header size does get adjusted properly (it has a border around it in our example, the border always takes up the correct space). However, if we dock something to the right hand side of the header section and subsequently increase the page size (like changing from portrait to landscape) it does not move to be flush against the right side of the increased header.
In our production version we plan to adjust the report size in code. This is because we use column groups which can expand the report width and we need to adjust the page size so that it still appears as one page wide on the generated PDF.

Hi Thys,
We managed to reproduce the problem and it is logged for improvement in our system. Your Telerik points are updated to thank you for reporting the issue.
For the time being, you can set the item's position via binding to its Location or Left property. Consider the example in the attached demo report. Still PageSettings should be changed during the designing of the report or prior to processing it.
Let us know if we can be of any further help for you.
