I spent a bit looking into this last night. I was able to keep the report
layout from refreshing in the window in which it shouldn't, but this isn't
enough. When you execute, the old report layout is still used (instead of the
one shown) -- so this ends up being more confusing/worse. To really solve this
problem, some refactoring needs to be done in a few places for Workflow to
truly be keeping track of different report layouts per workflow. This isn't
hard. However, there are places, like in the reporting kar entry handlers,
where reporting only has a workflow lsid to work with, but additional context
is needed to be able to know which report for this workflow to use. This might
mean keeping a mapping of reportlayout to frame/window/whatever. Doing this,
and in a way that works for both gui and headless, might be non-trivial, and
seems likely to introduce bugs along the way. At this juncture we may want to
leave this bug in, and retarget to wrp-2.x.y....
