If the reports are getting some attention now, I'll note that there are a
number of minor bugs in Bugzilla regarding reports that could use attention. I
put in 773168, 773169, 773198, 773199, and 773200, which are all pretty

Stephen, while I agree in principle that the reports need cleanup, as a user, I
don’t want to see functionality removed, just moved. Consider the following:
For example on your #1,
Why do I need to see the credit split for every transaction when running the

Stephen,
