Description Jiju CLA 2011-05-06 05:34:00 EDT 
Build Identifier: 2.5.2

1. The line height property, which allows us to reduce line spacing between two lines, does not work for PDF report outputs.  The same works fine for HTML outputs.
2. Vertical alignment also not working the way it is supposed to be.  Does not align the items as we set it in design for PDF outputs, but works properly for HTML outputs. 



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a new report with some table, and data elements in it.
2.Set the line height property for text in advanced property, some 2-3 pts more than the font size set for the element, remove all padding set for row, columns and elements.  Set vertical alignment  to top.
3.View report as PDF

valign property is not a css property, so it's not supported in BIRT.

For vertial-align doesn't work in HTML with the fixed layout, please see:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=271984#c8

For vertical-align doesn't work on .grid issue, since vertical-align property can not be inherit fro parent (http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_pos_vertical-align.asp), you should set the vertical align on grid cell or grid row.

We fixed this bug in birt 4.4.2.  I attached the 2 changed java files in their project. I hope you guys can incorporate this into the source code.
