If you have a couple of multi value fields and you are using display separate values with Newline there is an annoying bug in R5 that we have discovered.

If you have two columns and the second column has blank entries Release 5 puts in a blank character that is smaller than the normal characters.

This ends up putting the next line slightly too high.

If the first column doesn't have spaces then the columns are no longer in a line.

The only way around this is to put in a dash "-" instead of a space or null.
