Window location

[John Morris]

For what it's worth, I, too, have been bothered by this in the past. For me, the main issue is that the report-options window opens on top of the report and opens way too small to be particularly useful. Consequently, I have to move and resize that window every time I want to change the report options. I have not raised this issue before because I have no time to offer to this project and I don't see that changing in the near future.

Best,
John
