SharePoint 2010, SSRS 2012 and Internet Explorer 9 Issues

In SharePoint 2010, when using the RSViewerPage.aspx to view SSRS reports in Internet Explorer 9, you may experience the following problems:

• Increasing the Zoom percentage to more than 100% on the page’s toolbar results in the top of the report not being visible. Decreasing the Zoom percentage below 100% results in extra whitespace at the top of the report.
• The Actions->Export flyout menu does not appear.

I have additionally experienced a problem with a PerformancePoint Reporting Services web part that is displayed in a modal dialog called using SharePoint’s SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog method. When I click a button on the page that calls the method and displays the dialog, the report will update itself based on connections to filters on the page. Works great in IE7, IE8, Chrome and FireFox, however in IE9, the update to the report is only triggered in compatibility mode.

Adding your site to IE9’s Compatibility View settings list (Tools->Compatibility View settings) should fix the functionality. After discovering this workaround on my own, I stumbled across the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article which addresses the Export menu issue:

FIX: SSRS 2008 R2 report or SSRS 2012 report has no Export menu in Internet Explorer 9.0 if you use the out-of-box viewer page in the SharePoint Report Viewer Web Part (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2616481).

I’m hoping the Zoom problem and my modal dialog report update problem would be addressed by the fix mentioned in the KB article as well. I’ll update this post eventually when we apply the CU.

UPDATE 7/16/12: I installed SQL Server 2012 CU2 (11.0.2325), which is supposed to include the fixes from CU1 (mentioned in the kb article above), and it has not, unfortunately, fixed any of the issues mentioned in this post.

UPDATE 11/14/12: I installed SQL Server 2012 SP1 (11.0.3000) with the same results: none of the issues mentioned in this post have been addressed.
