Hi,
I have posted this in Jaspersoft Community as well. But as long it is delivered with Clarity to the customer, I try to seek some help here as well:
In Jaspersoft Studio 7.8, crosstabs in Ad-hoc reports had scrollbars that spanned the entire page. This allowed the user to scroll the entire crosstab, including the header and footer. In Jaspersoft Studio 8.1.1, the scrollbars are only in the data area of the crosstab. This means that for wide columns, only a small portion of the crosstab is actually scrollable. In some cases, the data area may not even be visible.

The left headers remain and cannot be scrolled to the left. This means, that only a small part is visible to the user.
Question:
Is this behavior configurable? Can it be changed through customization in a Jasper system file?
Possible causes:
The change in behavior is likely due to the introduction of floating headers in Jaspersoft Studio 8.1.1. Floating headers allow the user to scroll the crosstab without the header and footer moving. This is a useful feature for wide crosstabs, but it may also be the cause of the reduced scrolling area.
I would like to get feedback from the Jaspersoft community on this issue. Is anyone else experiencing this behavior? Do you have any suggestions for a solution?
Many thanks
Christoph
