[Done] Report designer feature request

Some of my freeform reports have dozens of elements, many of which are invisible because their values are concatenated in programming and put into other, visible elements.  I would find it immensely helpful if there was a way to tell, visually, if a report element is marked as visible or not without having to check the properties of each element, perhaps a slightly different shade of color on the element.  Is this possible?  Thanks!

That's a good idea. Will you submit a feature request so it gets written up and into our queue?

OK, if I can find the page; I don't have it bookmarked (yet) so I'll need to do some searching.

Scott,

In the next release (2.0.5), invisible report elements are tagged with "I" near the right side. Any report element with a specific width set is tagged with "W" near the right side.

Will that do you?
