I have a strange thing occuring on my reports that have rows which allow visibility to be toggled and the report has a footer. This is the scenario. I have the above mentioned report. Report has 2 items in a Row Group and rowgroup 2 starts initially hidden and is toggled by rowgroup1. When ever a Rowgroup1 item is clicked to toggle visibility on, the entire report shifts on the screen to have the row that was clicked to toggle be at the very top of the users screen. It appears as if it is doing its best to try to display the footer. Once the footer is displayed it does not force the screen to move further up.

If I place my foot directly under the report and let the report body control the page size, the problem does not start to occur until there is enough data toggled open to force the page footer to be off the page.

I really hope I explained that well enough...

Because we only have test data it is not that bad but once we have greater amounts of data this could be annoying.

I am proposing to the users to move the 4 footer text boxes to the header. Every footer containes the Date, Page x of y, the report name and the phrase "Priviledged and confidential. I would MUCH prefer though to have that at the botton as the original design called for.

Your help, as always, is greatly appreciated.

John

Yes, it is as if you scrolled internet explorer up until the row you clicked on was the top most visible.

Another way to explain:

I have a report with 30 rows selected and each can be clicked to toggle the visibility of more data. If you click on the plus sign on row 5, the row expands then then immediately row 5 scrolls to the top of the display area so you can no longer see rows 1 through 4. It appears as if SSRS Report Viewer is trying to m,ake the footer visible. If the report has very few rows and the Footer is already visible it does not occur.

We do not allow anything other than IE8 so I cannot determine if it is browser related. I was hoping someone else has had this wierd problem.
