BUG: Leading Spaces in PDF stripped

Hello
We are currently generating reports in PDF format and leading spaces are now
being stripped from printed reports. This started to happen when when we
applied SP2. Has anyone else encountered this problem and if so how did you
get around it.
Much appreciated,
Kevin Weir
DirectWest PublishersI'm a little surprised no one has had a similar problem. Leading spaces are
definetly stripped from ALL strings when rendering to PDF. This started to
happen after SP2 was installed.
If someone from Microsoft sees this post are you aware this is an actual bug.

I have experienced the same thing, I posted a few oddities after applying
SP2 and I have not received any help. Unfortunatley I don't have a
workaround for this one except to redesign. This is very aggravating as I
had to go in to a number of reports to fix once this SP was applied. It was
the only way I could combine bold font with normal and now that does not work
either.
I will continue my search, if I found I will update this post, please do the
same.

I will certainly let you know if I find a solution.
Now if I could just find link/e-mail address where I could let Microsoft
know about this bug.

BUG Multi-value field in SP2

Hi,
There seems to be a bug with the multi-valed fields when only one value is
selected and that value contains only spaces. I get the message 'Please
select a value for the parameter...'. It works when I test it in Visual
Studio but it doesn't work on the Web. I'm using SQL Server 2005 with SP2.
Any ideas ? Suggestions ?
Regards

Are you using 2 columns in the dataset that sources the multi-select
parameter? If the value field is something like 0, it might not error
out. Something like this might work (in the dataset; where Name is the
displayed item and NameID is the parameter value):
Name NameID
" " 0
"Bob" 1
"John" 2
"Bill" 3
Hope this is helpful.

Bug Maybe: Consecutive White Spaces Disappeared.

Hi,
When the report comes from the server (ie: not from the preview in
VS.Net) the consecutive white spaces in values are lost. Only one
white space is left. They are shown correctly in the preview though.
Example:
the value of a field expression is: ="xxx yyy"
the browser shows: "xxx yyy".
Is there work around this or it's a bug?
Thanks in advance.
DanniNever mind.
It started to work but I don't know what got changed.
