report grouping

I have a report that shows/hides group detail with the + for expanding the
group. When the report first displays the detail is hidden (as it should be)
with the + showing. However ... the cursor will only change to a finger
(pointer ... whatever) when the cursor is placed to the left of the + sign.
The user will want to expand the detail by selecting on the + sign and they
cant. Why is this?
Example:
+ Client A
^ -- user must click to the left of the plus sign on Client A to expand
groupThis is a known bug in the report designer preview tab.
When the report is published to the report server, all should be fine and
good in the world.

report has to be so wide when you are drilling down. Is there a way to nest
the drill levels so they appear to render slightly indented rather than
spreading across the page? If it involves expressions please elaborate as I
am struggling with that aspect a bit. Thanks in advance!
