In my instance of BIRT created objects inherit padding of 1pt. (All four paddings seem to default to 1pt, paddingTop, paddingLeft, paddingBottom, paddingRight.)
With a report of significant complexity, this results in objects failing to line up due to the fact that they are at different levels in the container hierarchy. For a simple example, create a report where the body contains a grid. In the first row of the grid and the first column place a text label. In the second row of the grid, first column, insert another grid, and inside it's first row and column, insert another grid, and in the inner-most grid's first row and column put a text label. In my opinion it should line up with the label in the row above, but it won't, because of multiple inherited paddingLeft of 1pt.
I am sure there must be some way to make these padding settings default to zero, and to make that the inheritable setting for contained objects. But I am having trouble finding the secret.
