Based on this description, though, if nothing changed about another users' size
of descriptions, shouldn't that user still have had room on a page for the same
number of pictures??
Granted, instead of her pictures going left-to-right, top-to-bottom, they
would've been shown top-to-bottom, left-to-right, but nothing had changed about
her pictures, her pictures' descriptions, or her report options
("16-per-page")... right?
I can definitely understand the logic change, but given no change in data, the
page should've turned out the same (# of pictures-wise).
Maybe one solution is a better set of test cases to be run for each enhancement?

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] scrapbook photo layout
The old layout placed the pictures left to right across the page then
down to the next row. The space for each picture was fixed and any
descriptions that took more than the allowed space were truncated. The
new layout is a column format where pictures are added down the page in
the first column then change to column 2 and fill that. This continues
for as many columns as specified by your pictures/page setting. The
height of a particular picture is now driven by the length of the
description which are no longer truncated arbitrarily. The new sequence
is required to figure out when the picture plus text needs to be started
at the top of the next column or carried to the next page if it is a
picture in the last column.
There is no option for concise vs verbose for descriptions because there
is only one description field. The verbosity was the way that one user
filled out the description field. He had long paragraphs describing when
and where the picture was taken and who was in the photo if there was a
group. I cannot remember now if his list of people was one person per
line or if his descriptions were organized into multiple line entries. I
only remember that in some cases his descriptions were 10 or 15 lines long.
