SYMPTOMS
When you are printing a report in FoxBASE+/Mac that has a line or lines in either the group header or group footer, the line may print for only the first data group that is printed on the page. On subsequent pages, the line will print in the same position as it did on the first page regardless of where the other data groups start or stop. This behavior occurs if one (or both) ends of the line is positioned outside the boundaries of the report.



RESOLUTION
Using the mouse to draw a line on a report normally keeps the ends of the line within the boundaries of the report. However, it is possible to position one or both ends of the line outside the report boundaries. Below are the steps to accomplish this. To get the line inside the boundaries of the report, you can reverse these same steps, or you can delete the line and draw it again.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Draw a line in a group header or group footer report band. The report needs to have a data grouping.
 * 2) Make sure the line is selected. It will have little black squares at both ends if it is selected.
 * 3) Use the LEFT ARROW or RIGHT ARROW key to move one end of the line off the edge of the report.
 * 4) Using the mouse, grab the end of the line that is still on the report and make the line longer.
 * 5) Preview the report.

The line will appear only once on the first page and then in the same position on subsequent pages.
