Version

XFRX 17.0.0

Symptoms

The print preview is really funny / scrunched and the PDF has overlapping texting. 
There’s a decent amount of text in the summary band and it’s almost like it’s not letting it stretch to a second page even though it needs to.

Cause

Character LESS-THAN SIGN (<) in field source and <TF> in field's comment.

<TF> expects HTML element if found character LESS-THAN SIGN.

Workaround

Converts LESS-THAN SIGN to  vfpev element.

strtran(m.text, '<', "<vfpev>chr(60)</vfpev>")
