Once a report has been opened, it will not be auto-updated when one makes changes to the project and comes back to the report view. It's confusing that the report does not get updated automatically on returning to it, while all other views (Gantt, Network, RBS, etc.) do that.
Test steps (on a new project; same applies on opening an existing project, though):
1. Start ProjectLibre and create a new project.
2. Go to View -> Report
3. Go to Task -> Gantt and add a few tasks
4. Go back to View -> Report
Expected results:
2. The "Report: Project Details" report is opened, corresponding to the new project.
3. Tasks added.
4. The "Report: Project Details" report is opened, corresponding to made updates.
Actual results:
4. Same report as on step 2.
Notes:
- The project information under File -> Information -> Statistics gets updated correctly.
- The "Reload" button (next to the "Save" and "Print" buttons in the report view) is grayed out and thus cannot be pressed.
- Changing the report type (in the "Report:" drop-down list) will update the report.
