I noticed an improvement in the XLS export from RC0 to RC3 (previously two
reports were throwing stack traces we could not identify). They now export
and format OK (yay). However, I noticed that the ability to hide elements
for specific formats appears to not only not work, but mirror HTML output.

Example:

visibility for table 1 is set to hidden for XLS only.
visibility for table 2 is set to hidden for HTML only.

On export, only table 1 appears in the XLS. With table 2 visible for all
formats, it will appear, but table 1 will always appear. This seems to be a
bug. We've used this functionality (hiding for specific formats) with
success in PDF.

Thanks.

Can you log a bugzilla entry for this?
