Reports in Omnis 8.1.7.2 on MacOS Catalina

Hello everyone,

I am having an issue with reports in Omnis Studio 8.1.7.2 on MacOS 
Catalina that they cut off any data displayed on the left side if the 
margin is less than 0.5 inches.  Entry Fields do get cut off, Labels do 
not.  I can fix the problem (in reports not using Studio Works) by 
creating a new report (from scratch, duplicating doesn't work).  I have 
worked around the problem by setting the margin to 0.5 inches and 
scaling the report to 95 percent before printing it, however this 
workaround doesn't work with reports like labels or forms that require 
the data placed in a precise position on the page.  For clarification, 
the Omnis Studio report preview doesn't show anything odd, it's when the 
report is printed to pdf or on a printer that it gets cut off.

We are also using Doug K's Studio Works and the reports generated by it 
are exhibiting the same behaviour.  These reports are in libraries that 
were all converted from older Omnis Studio versions.

So my questions are: Anyone else experiencing this?  If so, have any 
better solutions than recreating all my reports?  Those using 
StudioWorks have any ideas on what might be causing an issue like this 
in those libraries?  Does Omnis Studio 10 fix the issue?
