Scenario:
Using Visual Studio 2008 Professional SP1 w/ Crystal Reports Basic SP1 on a Windows 7 x64 system.
A new project is created with a Report Viewer and a Report Document. Any data can be used for the document's data source for the purposes of reproducing this issue. The Viewer and Document were created via the Toolbox.
Once the Report Viewer has a report with data in it, the design view shows a large section of background visible to the left of the report within the Report Viewer. It's on the right of the Group Tree.
This issue was originally noticed while I was coding in an XP environment. The compiled software when run on my Windows 7 machine performed as above with an uncentered report. If the window is enlarged to the point the horizontal scroll bar disappears, there's no background to the right of the report and a huge amount on the left of the report as it expands as the window enlarges. The very same compiled package works correctly in Windows XP.

Can anyone help out please?
