Access 2608 Build 20326: Line controls disappear in Print Preview
I believe there may be a regression in Microsoft Access Build 16.0.20326.20034 (64-bit) affecting Line controls in reports.
I can reproduce the problem even with a completely new blank MDB database, so it does not appear to be related to an existing application.
Steps to reproduce:
1.Start Microsoft Access 64-bit Build 16.0.20326.20034.
2.Create a new blank MDB database.
3.Create a new report in Design View.
4.Add a Line control to the Detail section.
5.Add a Rectangle control to the same section.
6.No VBA code or special event handling is required.
7.Select Microsoft Print to PDF as the printer.
8.Open Print Preview.
Actual result:
The Rectangle control is displayed correctly, but the Line control disappears in Print Preview.
The problem is not specific to a particular printer. We have reproduced it with multiple printers.
Expected result:
Both the Line and Rectangle controls should appear in Print Preview and in the printed output.
Workaround:
Rolling Microsoft Access back to an earlier build immediately resolves the problem. The same MDB file and the same report then display and print the Line control correctly.
We have also reproduced the issue with Build 16.0.20326.20044 (64-bit).
Has anyone else been able to reproduce this with Version 2608 / Build 20326?

Yes. I spent the entire day reproducing and correcting the same behavior. I reverted MS 365 Apps for Business to version 2607, build 20228.20124, although I didn't try any other builds.
