Scratched filter pane of BW report

After applying of Support Package (SP) 16 to BW 7.0 for ABAP stack and subsequent JAVA stack SP you most likely will experience strange behavior of JAVA stack while browsing your BW reports. Area of filter pane in web reporting becomes tine and narrow.

Filter area serves for filtering of characteristics for specifics values with the query. The filter pane is displayed between the application toolbar and the table (or graphic). The characteristics that you can use for filtering are displayed in the filter area. You can select the characteristic values to be used for filtering for each characteristic that is used in the data provider. It is quite important for user to have this area big enough to seek up characteristics and filter them out. If you want to make this area you need to implement following SAP notes:
