Report Viewing Probem - Text Shifting Right

Ignition
1

Hello, I have an odd issue where text fields, and text inside of table cells is shifting to the right at runtime, but looks normal during report previewing. One example is a standard text field that is set to Center for horizontal alignment, and previews as such (also looks fine in the report viewer in the designer), but then at runtime in the client (in report viewer and pdf) the text shifts to the right, but not all the way to the right like if it were right justified. Same thing occurs in table fields where I have it right justified, and in this case the text shifts off the right side and most of the contents are truncated.

Very odd! Any help is appreciated.

Clint.

Have you verified that the data (which I assume comes from a database) doesn’t have any white-space (tab, spaces, etc.)?

Well the odd thing is that this isn’t all coming from queries or report string parameters, some of it is static text as well. Right now it’s not happening at all since I went into the report design and changed the font to Arial Unicode from ArialMT, so I’m wondering if that had anything to do with it. I’ll report back if it doesn’t return as an issue.

I just had the same issue, and I didn't change any fonts.
It is currently an issue though.
I could only find this thread that matched what I am seeing.
It is 5 years old, but I see the same thing.
Did you ever find out what was the cause?

I did place a comma in a header text box today like:
WO, PN
I also put two pieces of data in a single box that are kind of wrapping like:

@data1@ @data2@

Other reports of mine are having the issue without any changes too though.

Still having this issue.
Looks great in the previou.
On the webpage text is shifting right.

The data source is a query type from a named query.
The first column is wide enough to contain the data within.
Second column has two pieces of data in it.

@data1@
@data2@

These look correct on the webpage.
The column is wide enough for them.

However the next column, doesn't wrap.
It contains a 3 rows of text in the report preview, but doesn't wrap on the webpage for some reason. Then the columns to the right appear staggered out of position as well.

Version 8.1.39

Update
I have concatenated two columns in a single column in the named query, and testing if that will work fine alternatively.
I would like to know if anyone else is able to put in multiple data sources to a single report table column without any wrapping issues though.
