Bug 533738 - Budget report: Option "Show full account names" not supported

[Carsten Rinke]

Hi,

Dmitry is absolutely right: once you pick a single account from a lower 
level then the user has no chance to show the parent information in the 
report.

John's proposal sound reasonable to me.

Thanks for pointing that out.
I will update the bug with these comments.

Kind regards,
Carsten
