percent done oddity

[David Fries]

I'm working on my own report.  If I have multiple account windows open
(not registers but where reports are displayed), I've noticed that the
percent done bar when computing a report is displayed on the account
window that currently has focus, not just the window where the report
is being generated in.  If you move focus from one window to the
other, the first one's progress bar 'freezes' while the second one
jumps to the current place.  It isn't all that big of deal, but when
the report is finished only the window with the focus last will show a
'done' progress bar and all the others will make it look like there is
still something running.

I'm running 1.8.4 (Debian package 1.8.4-2).

Currently it displays in a table an account per row and a column for
each period selected (monthly over a year) and each column is the
difference in balance between the start and end of that period.  I
also have it compute the average, max period, min period, account
balance from start to finish date.  I find it easier to see where I'm
spending money than the current reports.

I'm new to writing reports and I'm using the functions,
gnc:account-get-comm-balance-interval.  Is there a function to find
what the maximum or minimum balance was in an account in the time
period?
