I searched to see if this had been brought up before, but couldn't find anything.
I've been noticing that the default height of most of the report items is extrememly close to, but not the same as, the snap-to heights (w/ default 8px,8px grid) available when you are dragging the resize handles. For instance:
Original Text Box Height: 0.23958 inches
Snap-To Height: 0.25 inches
Original Panel Height: 0.23958 inches
Snap-To Height: 0.25 inches
Original Picture Box Height: 1.04167 inches
Snap-To Height: Either 1.0 inch or 1.08333 inches.
Personally it doesn't really matter to me if a text box starts at 0.23958 or 0.25, but what I kind of find annoying is that if you need to resize a text box, or you accidentally drag the handle then you've got a text-box that is a different height and the only way to get it back to matching the other un-changed boxes is to go manually set the height.
While this is getting picky, would it not be a good idea to set the default height of the report items (and maybe width for that matter) to a snap-to height? I realize you can change the spacing of the grid, but if you're doing that you are probably changing the dimensions of everything on the report. But would it be possible for you guys to adjust the height the report items get when they are drug onto the designer to match the closest snap-to height?
Just my 2 cents.
Thanks,
Jimmy

Nice idea Jimmy,
Although, this is not critical issue we logged it in our bug tracking system so while we are working on the report designer will have it in mind. Thank you for the feedback.
