Created attachment 105234 [details] Screen size in Design mode When designing a Report the screen view is 21cm long and there seems to be no way of incresing this. When you go to Data view there is spare white space at the bottom of the displayed page. There seems to me no way to make use of this area.

Ian, Thanks for the report. > There seems to me no way to make use of this area. It's possible by setting 1. page size 2. margins. Please see my attachments. Click on the select entire area box (left top corner of report) then change page size and/or margins. Unit can be changed too to your preference. Then resize the details section using dragging the bottom handle. This needs improvement in Kexi. You can resize easier if you resize Kexi window more (beyond of screen size maybe) temporarily. Alternatively if you click the report Detail section there is the Height property. Change it e.g. to 27cm for A4 portrait page to have 1cm margins. But it's in wrong unit in current Kexi 3.1 Alpha (it's OK in 3.0.2). Even in 3.0.2 entering the value into Height is broken a bit, for 100% accuracy it's easier to enter it in a text editor and copy-paste it to the property's box. On the report you see on the screen shot I inserted one label on top-left and second on bottom-right corner of the report to show they are displaying OK. Once you set up the margins and Detail section size, you would get one Detail section per printed page. And fine control over report elements close to page borders. Of course your printer capabilities are the limit regarding printing on margins, Kexi won't detect that fully. I am also attaching PDF exported from the screen shoted report, A4 with 4mm margins and these two labels. Summing up, there are issues but maybe different than you described. Also lack of full documentation makes it hard to discover. Thanks again.

Waiting for opinion.
(PS: I understand that there's no AppImage for 3.0.2 so the solution is to resize section using drag or do it in Kexi 2.9 or wait for a fix in 3.1 Alpha AppImage)
Testing with latest AppImage. Changing Page Size makes no difference to the displayed area in Design Mode. However changing the Height value DOES display a larger Design area!! This is a workround until this is fixed.

We're close to 3.2 and the issue has not been found already in 3.0.2. So assuming it can be closed. We can reopen on any problems in >=3.2.
