SSRS Text box height while exporting to Excel

Question

I am using text boxes above my SSRS graphs to show the legend instead of the normal legens. This looks better and consumes less space in my graphs. When I preview the SSRS report, it looks great in visual studio and report manager. When I export the report, the height of the textboxes is doubled. Does anybody now how to fix this? I tried a rectangle around but no lock.

As you've seen, SSRS Excel exports do have a tendency to stretch out rows unpredictably.

In general, the best solution is to make sure that any individual textboxes or textboxes within a Tablix have their CanGrow property set to False. Make sure that all textboxes in a table are set up this way or it might not work.
