padding property RS 2005

Anyone notice that the padding property doesn't seem to work as nice as RS 2000? When I select more than one cell or row, and try to set the padding to 1,1,1,1, by typing the values in the property field (as opposed to expanding it and entering it in each side), it sometimes it gives me the following error:

'RptPaddingConverter' is unable to convert 'Microsoft.ReportDesigner.Drawing.ReportPadding' to 'System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.InstanceDescriptor'.

Other times it works. This has always worked in RS 2000. It is more of a time-consuming annoyance than anything because then I have to go into each cell individually and change the padding, one by one.

This issue was fixed in SQL 2005 SP1|||Great. We were going to install it this week anyway. Thanks.|||Hello,

I can't confirm that the problem is solved. I work with SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition with Service Pack 1 installed. When selecting more than one cell in a table and modifying any of the padding-properties I get the error message (freely adapted from the german error message): "invalid property value". The details: RptPaddingConverter cannot convert Microsoft.ReportDesigner.Drawing.ReportPadding to System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.InstanceDescriptor.

regards,
Gerald
