Alex,
For the record, I am using the binary RPM I downloaded from the LO 
website.  So, I doubt this would be the problem. As I said, this is not 
a work-stopper for me, just a query (pun?) to see if anyone had a fix or 
work-around.  It should get fixed sooner or later.  I am primarily glad 
this version is running at a reasonable speed, unlike previous versions 
I tried to use and gave up for a 3rd-party report builder which had its 
own set of bugs.  That report builder also had problems with inserting 
lines - option in the menu, but did nothing. However, it did do report 
headers properly.

Thanks.
Girvin
