I'm sure it's no problem. And thanks for the offer.

If I can impose, I would suggest also a checkbox to turn off 
piecharts/barcharts on those reports, as doing so could then also 
accomplish the same thing ... LOL

are no more patches planned for the stable series, right? Nor would I 
expect trivial fixes like this in a stable upgrade, at this late date ...
