This is caused by the size (length or width) of the 'item1' field being smaller than one character when the report is run in character mode. You can see this by setting the 'Use Characters In Designer' property under the Character Mode tab of the report proterties. Also make sure you have the Grid option enabled under the view menu in the layout editor.

Even though the field height and width are not displayed in the property sheet, you can change them by selecting the field in the layout editor and dragging one of the field markers.

Good Luck,
