Border settings not saving in SSRS

This may sound silly to some but I've written a note because I spent time googling and still didn't find an answer.

Our Purpose

This site exists as a practical knowledge base built from real-world experience across systems, platforms, and technologies since 1999. Much of the content documents solutions, edge cases, and working patterns that were learned through investigation where documentation was incomplete or absent, and is shared to reduce the same friction for others.
