1216269 - Fields truncate after upgrading report, or overlap after disabling 'Can Grow'

Symptom

The description fields for a report that was designed in Crystal Reports 8.x may be truncated, if the report is viewed in Crystal Reports 2016, Crystal Report Application Server (RAS).

In a related issue, fields do not truncate even when the 'Can Grow' feature is disabled. If you export a report to HTML from Crystal Reports, or view a report through the DHTML, Java, or ActiveX viewers in BOE, the fields grow to accommodate the full length of the strings. The disabled setting for the 'Can Grow' feature is ignored.

How can these issues be resolved?
