[Carl-Kensaku HERBORT]

Hello,

Yes, it happens with all the stylesheets.

No, I haven't modified any of the stylesheets.

Thank you for your help

>>> I suspect that what you want (from the developers) is an option to "justify columns from the right". That's what I would have in the "finished product" reports. In the case of the Income Statement (Statement of Revenues and Expenses --- what a non-profit calls this report) but also with Balance Sheet reports. Instead of writing custom reports* I export and then edit with full control over the level of detail in different parts, column alignment, etc. and can add annotation as needed. There is a lot of detail work** in producing a "pretty print" report.
