[news.eclipse.birt] Re: Drop group heading to first row only

[Tom Corcoran <tom.corcoran@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the post. I am running birt-rcp-report-designer v2_3_1. With 
a column selected on the properties | general tab I see:
http://i36.tinypic.com/18y78k.jpg
Can't see a check box. I try adding a group and checking the properties 
of that but I do not see it either. What am I missing?

Tom.
