Thanks for feedback.

Most of these issues are not caused by reports but rather webkit/UI issues
:) I haven't found way to trigger report drill-down without an intermediate
"Load" anchor.

Try refreshing my branch. Latest developments: the yAxis amounts are now
formatted correctly according to locale; US users see "$1,000.00" "€1,000.00
*"* whereas some EU users wil see "1.000,00 $" "1.000,00 €*"*. These things
matter in an internationally focussed program :)
