Report Parameters, Joins and Libraries in BIRT 2.3.2

I was trying to re-engineer my reporting environment using libraries and I believe I discovered a bug, unless there is some other explanation. When you use a data set with a report parameter in a join dataset, the join dataset will not show the output columns in the data explorer. As you can see in the attached screen capture, neither ?Data Set? or ?JoinedDataSet? will expand to show the output columns. If you unlink the parameter from the report parameter to a local parameter it works the way it should. I noticed this problem in Report Designs (not libraries) in version 2.3.1, but it was fixed in 2.3.2.
Has anyone else noticed this behavior in libraries or know of a documented reason it should behave like that?
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob,<br />
<br />
This sounds like a bug to me as well. Please file a report for this at <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/reportabug.php'>BIRT: Reporting Bugs and Requesting Enhancements</a>. You may want to search the current bugs before reporting this to see if one has already been created. Also, if you could post the bug info in here for future reference, that'd be great. Thanks.
