Limitations of Stretching

We are receiving many emails from users about the following -

• Printing a range of pages does not work properly
• Bands which are linked together don't stay together

These things are caused by the presence of stretching controls and bands in the report and they are limitations in the current versions of Quick Report.
The reason is that vertical resizing happens as the page is being printed. Thus it is not possible to anticipate running out of vertical space, which is necessary to implement band linking.
The penalty for anticipating band size is having to render every page twice.
Clearly it would be great if we could calculate the size of a control or band before it prints - but reports would take double the time.
