Table width problem between Birt 2.1 and 2.2 [message #248885]

I have 3 tables in one of my reports.
The page size is A4 landscape.

If I open the report in 2.1, all three tables fit onto the page size.
If I open it in 2.2, one of the tables now stretches to the whole width of
the report "canvas" - it no longer fits on my A4 sheet.
For the life of me, I can't shrink it.

This seems to be very different to 2.1.

Is this correct? How can I force a table to be a specified size and not let
it expand to whatever width it wants?

Andy,

Any chance that you could simplify the report to use the classic cars data
source, and then create a Bugzilla?

Maybe it has something to do with the new report option "Layout Preference"?
Have you tried to change this property of the report?

Maybe someone of the development team can elaborate on this topic? There is
not much documentation about this "feature" except for this bug
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=177285.

I never even knew it existed!

I'll see what happens - thanks for the pointer.

Can someone on the development team elaborate a bit about this?
