[GNC] Report - Income Statement - Layout problem

[Carl-Kensaku HERBORT]

Hello,

As promised in my previous e-mail below, here are two screen captures:
1. the balance sheet report: working perfectly
2. the income statement report: with width problem and alignment problem

I hope the pictures are allowed on the mailing list.

Thank you for your help

Best regards
