I have created a report in Visual Studio 2010. The Detail Section is a mixture of HtmlTextbox and Textbox items inside Panels to display the data.
Design View
In design view the Details section is made up of 5 Panels set to the width of the header items. Several HTML textboxes and texboxes were added in order to display the desired information. Some of the data does wrap to the next line. That's the reason for putting them all in Panels was because the data needs to stay tight to the grouped columns. I have tried to remove the panels and display just the data but I get the same issue.
Preview/Export/Etc
When viewing the report the data stays tight as expected. The attached screen shot I added a blue border to the detail section panels to show that the data does indeed stay constricted to the panel and the panels do not grow yet for some reason there is extra space causing the page to be wider than expected. If I change either the Port panel or the Status panel to be visible = false it does not have this extra space.
I cannot for the life of me figure out why it is widening the page like that. This is a huge issue because when you export to PDF it causes extra pages to be displayed in the report that contain nothing.

After a little more tinkering around with the controls it turns out the root of the issue is the HTML Textboxes. When I removed all the HTML Textboxes from the report I had no further issues with the extra empty space. I've had a lot of issues with the HTML Textboxes.
- Issues with spacing and displaying empty space
- Issues with handling null values in the data
Pretty much rendered the HTMLTextBox un-usable in the current version.

I figured it out. The HTML textbox is extremely space sensitive. It can truncate your content for the oddest alignment issues.Made the page .05in longer and it renders.
