The following is a pared-down version of a table that produces a "normal-looking" table on the internal preview and on Internet Explorer when viewed as HTML, but which produces a lot of extra whitespace on Firefox and Chrome.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
The example report produces the inconsistency when the table is placed within the grid. If the table is removed from within the grid, everything works as expected. The bug cannot be readily reproduced with an arbitrary grid and an arbitrary table (the particular grid seems to be the key to it).

I think the problem is coming from the example itself. If you go to the XML Source, you can find a line where it says, 

<property name="whiteSpace">pre</property>

The whiteSpace pre format setting makes the report wraps to new line after every line break in html format.

I tried to reproduce this error with different table and grid setting but never able to introduce this line into the report design.

Are you sure this property setting didn't get introduced into this particular report design manually by mistake?

I'm going to attached the fixed sample report that works correctly, displaying the row correctly without extra in both html and other views.

In Layout view, if you select the bottom row and change the Whitespace option from Preformatted to Auto, the problem would go away.
