Embedded Report Link - Cannot delete records when on certain forms

I'm not sure if I have discovered a glitch, or is simple operator error. I'm assuming/hoping for the latter. I have a default form I use with many embedded report links. They all function in the ty...

I have experienced this bug in the past when the same report link is referenced multiple times on the same form. I would recommend creating as many copies of the report link as you need on the form that you will be making changes to records with. Including grid edit/deleting.​

Justin,

I don't believe you even have the option of putting the same report link on one form. The glitch I have found exists when there are multiple report links on the same form with the same source and destination table. So creating copies yields the buggy result for me. I think it also wreaks havoc on the 'editable' report feature, as it creates orphans and doesn't auto select the related field.

    Mike, did you actually duplicate the report link fields so they are two different fields?

      Yes, they are completely different fields with different field IDs.

        Here's an example. Same report link (essentially) but as two different fields. Notice on the left I have check box options. On the right, I dont even have options for anything. Also, I have no way of deleting. This is actually even stranger behavior, usually one report link or the other will give me the Delete option

      And now for the extra extra strange behavior. I have the same report link, but use different reports to filter. Now, the checkboxes are on the first report link, but my delete option appears on the second report link

        I have definitely seen that too. When you put the same report link field on the form twice when you check box  on the second one the delete option is up on top on the first one
