Editing list creates summary rows

I've taken the same report in 10.2 and 11.0.2 and added an additional field in a list container.  In 10.2, the column is added, no problem.  In 11.0.2, the column is added, along with unintended summary rows, that I then have to go through and delete.  How do I get rid of this unintended behavior in 11.0.2?  Are lists defaulted to summarize in 11.0.2?  On both versions, the query is set to 'Auto Summarize & Group', yet this simple drag-and-drop process becomes so much more complicated in 11.0.2. I only want the list to summarize if I explicitly click to summarize.

Hi,

It's a configurable option, just like in Report Studio in Cognos 10. Press the "More" button in the top right corner (three dots) and choose "Options". Go to the Report tab, and you can turn on or off the "Automatic group and summary option for lists" checkbox as desired. In Report Studio this same dialog was available in Tools > Options.

Cheers!

MF.
Meep!

Yep, that worked.  That sneaky ... will be the end of me...
Thanks.
