Winforms viewer - "InteractiveSize" not respected, still shows print width -- sql server reporting services

I am having an issue with the winforms viewer where it always shows the
report in full print width (8.5" for this report) regardless of the
"InteractiveSize" property.

- The report itself is 7" wide in the designer
- .75 margins on each side.
- "InteractiveSize" is set to "7in, 11in"

In render it shows the report aligned to the left, with 1.5 inches of
space on the right (approx.), and a scrollbar at the bottom. It seems
to know how wide the report _should_ be, and makes the window wide
enough to fit just that, but then somehow expands the viewing area to
the full page size.

I an get around this in display by setting the "PageSize" to "7in, 11in"
but this causes it to print wrong.

Is there any way to get around this, even manually? I can't find a way
to extract the InteractiveSize from the report using the LocalReport
object, and no way to change anything related (at least obviously) to
this in the viewer itself.

Thanks,

Does anyone know why this is going on? MS?

Is it possible that this was let go without much testing, and now we get
the joy of both justifying using RS to the boss and dealing with the
issues that are apparent as soon as anyone tries to design their first
report? I also have the issues of textboxes being the wrong size during
rendering (among others) but I have just dealt with that by expanding
them for now.
