Morning, Alan and David.

I use GC 3.8 on iMac with High Sierra.

The annoyingly split lines in reports occur if I use the “Print” or “Make PDF” buttons.

It’s as though the page-breaking method is working in on rasters rather than lines of text, and I recall from previous complaints I’ve made about this that it’s ascribed to GTK.

The information is all there, but if you want a better-looking PDF you can use the “Export” button to save the report in HTML format, open the report in a browser (Safari in my case), and use the browser’s export-to-pdf function.

You’ll still get page-breaks within a multi-line transaction from time to time, but no line of text is split horizontally.
