Whenever I attempt to add a report viewer component I get this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/4/c41b156d33cc40f1270d810251d88a0fe8c47a1a.png) It doesn't matter if it's an existing report, a new blank report, a new blank project with a new report. Same thing. When I change any aspect, for a fraction of a second I'll see the report viewer then it's right back. The module is in trial mode as I'm trying to justify it with a demo for management, but if I can't get it to work....

I've not seen any bug like this. You may want to ask IA support to look over your shoulder. ---

I did. Turns out there was an error with the install. Updating the server fixed it. Going to leave this here in case anyone else gets the same issue.
