[GNC] Report - Income Statement - Layout problem

[Carl-Kensaku HERBORT]

Hello,

The effective nesting level is the same.

No, I don't need an option to justify columns. I just need the income 
statement report to look as normal as the balance sheet report (see 
screen capture).

I really don't need anything more.

Have a nice week-end

Best regards
