Resolution

Workarounds:

(Each mentioned point below corrects the problem):

  • Place the memo field inside a text object
  • Modify the width/height of the field
  • Uncheck the 'Can Grow' option of the field

Note:  This specific report also contains a "Page M of N" field in the page header.  Making this field wider or moving it higher and unchecking the 'Can Grow' option also prevents the memo field from being duplicated.
