I would hope that it would be advisable to report as a bug in any case. It
may get noticed and fixed in a new version.

I've noticed the same thing on either family group sheets or outline
descendant reports (or both, can't remember which). I gave up reporting
bugs several years ago, as nothing ever seemed to get fixed. If you'll
notice, there have been no updates to Genbox 3.x in over two years. All
energy is probably going into 4.0, instead of fixing known bugs in 3.x.
I spend a lot of time editing basic reports to get them to print the
data as they should. There doesn't seem to be any other option at this
point.
