Reports: html-build-acct-table

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in responding....

I think this is just a bug in terms of counting columns, or it's
a display bug in GtkHTML.  I can certainaly reproduce this problem
here when I increase the Account Display Depth from 2 to 3 (or 4).

Can you file a bug report at bugzilla.gnome.org about this problem?
