Flex & Confine Mode in Reports

Confine mode:

1. Switched on by default; change via View® View Options® Layout...
2. It prevents operations which would cause a report not to work e.g. moving a field outside its parent repeating frame

Flex mode:

Moves the object it’s enclosing objects and objects in their push path simultaneously to maintain the same overall relationship in the report. E.g. if you try to move a field outside its repeating frame, the Repeating Frame will grow to accommodate the field and so will any objects around the repeating frame.

Only one object can be moved/resized at one time in flex mode - if you try more than one only one whose control point is clicked on will be done, the other objects will be de-selected.

Objects can be moved/resized horizontally or vertically; not diagonally.
