New Report Card Builder: "Suppress section if blank" leaves big space

On the New Report Card Builder, if a section has the option to "Suppress section if blank" and there is no information to display, it leaves a big blank space on the report.  The blank section should be truncated so there is no large gap.

    This is also an issue if you have several grading plans. We offer year-long letter grade courses, Pass/Fail courses, and one-semester letter grade courses; each with a separate grade plan. It forces you to create a column for EACH grade plan, so then when the report card is generated the grades look messy because there is a blank space for each grade plan column that isn't being used for that course. There should be a way to create a "Grade" column that includes ALL grade plans like in the old report card builder.

    And is actually doesn't suppress a section, it only suppresses a course. We have PE course and 1 section has all the students (not grades) and the other sections are the student's assigned class and is grade. The system was putting both sections on the report cards, so I had to unenroll 400 students from the section that was just for communication purposes, so there wouldn't be 2 PE courses on the report card.

    Turns out it is only works to suppress a Course, not Section :(
