Line Spacing between Sources in Reports

Post by g_mcallister » 02 Oct 2006 18:25

Some of my reports look untidy because of differences in the spacing between the sources listed. Most are single spaced but there are occasional double spaces. After investigation I have established that the double spacing only occurs if I have added a note to a source. A blank line is then inserted between any source with a note and the next source. However the odd thing is that this extra spacing only occurs on the Family Group Sheet report. On all other reports, as far as I can tell, the sources are listed with single spacing. Has anyone else seen this?

Did you check all the reports have source notes turned on?

Does the double space disappear if you turn off source notes?

Thanks - further checking has established that I didn't have source notes turned on for every report and yes, the double spacing does disappear if I turn off source notes. So at least the FH behaviour is consistent. I suppose my question now is how do I achieve uniform spacing (either single or double) when I want source notes included?

Hello g_mcallister

I've had a look at this.  It's a bug.  Sorry about that.  It will be fixed in the release.

Giving this old thread a bump. Simon promised a fix but it didn't make it into versions 3.1, 3.1.1 or 3.1.2. Has it been overlooked?

I've checked this up and you're quite right - it wasn't fixed. I don't know why not. Sorry about that, and thank you for raising this again. It will be fixed in the next release!
