Root Cause

Issue reported is an expected behavior and below is the explanation.

From Pega 7.1.7 onwards, grids are used to display report data. The grid accommodates the columns based on the availability of space rather than being forced to a specific width. If there are longer values in the first column, then the width increases as required.

A Report Definition (RD) with at least one summarized column will show the report in Tree grid format.

This change was made to increase the user-experience by automatically adjusting width of column based on content of column.
