Rectangle overlapping preview error
When a rectangle overlaps anoter one, it will show funny behavior. With Report builder, the preview is different with design view and pdf page view. Not sure why SSRS can not handle such a simple case well? Here is the rdl file. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Report xmlns:rd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition"> <Body> <Height>3.39236in</Height> <Style /> </Body> <Width>8in</Width> <Page> <PageHeader> <Height>1.08334in</Height> <PrintOnFirstPage>true</PrintOnFirstPage> <PrintOnLastPage>true</PrintOnLastPage> <ReportItems> <Rectangle Name="FillBox"> <Top>0.03472in</Top> <Left>0.05556in</Left> <Height>1.04861in</Height> <Width>0.25347in</Width> <Style> <Border> <Style>None</Style> </Border> <TopBorder> <Style>None</Style> </TopBorder> <BottomBorder> <Style>None</Style> </BottomBorder> <LeftBorder> <Style>None</Style> </LeftBorder> <RightBorder> <Style>None</Style> </RightBorder> <BackgroundColor>Silver</BackgroundColor> </Style> </Rectangle> <Rectangle Name="Box2"> <Top>0.53125in</Top> <Left>0.05208in</Left> <Height>0.09375in</Height> <Width>7.78125in</Width> <ZIndex>1</ZIndex> <Style> <Border> <Style>None</Style> </Border> <TopBorder> <Style>Solid</Style> </TopBorder> <BottomBorder> <Style>Solid</Style> </BottomBorder> <LeftBorder> <Style>Solid</Style> </LeftBorder> <RightBorder> <Style>Solid</Style> </RightBorder> <BackgroundColor>Maroon</BackgroundColor> </Style> </Rectangle> </ReportItems> <Style /> </PageHeader> <LeftMargin>0.5in</LeftMargin> <RightMargin>0.5in</RightMargin> <TopMargin>0.5in</TopMargin> <BottomMargin>0.5in</BottomMargin> <Style /> </Page> <rd:ReportID>8cf69010-0a2b-48de-a2f9-c50d1850935d</rd:ReportID> <rd:ReportUnitType>Inch</rd:ReportUnitType> </Report> Any work around? Is this issue fixed somehow?

Hi Jaikan The preview of report will leverage HTML rendering extension to generate page view of report as users usually view their reports in IE. For PDF page view, it uses PDF rendering extension which is a bit different from HTML rendering extension. As to this issue we experienced, I am afraid it is a limitation in HTML rendering extensions as it does not support item overlap. Therefore, this can result in layout changes when the report is displayed in IE. For more information, please refer to following article, Report Design: Best Practices and Guidelines: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc966445.aspx Moreover, I would suggest you submit a feedback at http://connect.microsoft.com .
