Bug in Report Builder
This is not really a bug, it's a documented behaviour of some of the rendering engines. So you other than waiting for a possible upgrade to the rendering engines which have this limitation you have 2 options:
- Use one of the other rendering targets (like PDF) which does support overlapping elements
- Alter your report design to eliminate the overlap
I know you mentioned that your chart and table don't overlap, but if the position is being adjusted then the combination of these two elements must be wider than the printable page width. It could be that the margins are too large or that there is some whitespace or something that has not been accounted for. But if both your elements are fixed width it should be possible to configure them so they do not move on the page.
Neither of those statements are true. The objects do not overlap and the same result occurs in PDF format. All the objects work with a fixed width, but the rendering engine computes an overlap if a table runs parallel with an object below it, even if the object is a fixed width and to the left of the table.
I found a workaround by embedding the objects in rectangles to separate the page into three columns so that the rendering engine was fooled into thinking that the heights didn't overlap - yay me 🤣.
I look forward to seeing this improve with future releases.
