Answer 1

you should do the following to get it working:

1. Set isStretchWithOverflow="true" for all TextField elements on Detail band (it will fix cutting of long text values)
2. Set stretchType="RelativeToBandHeight" for all TextField elements on Detail band (It will fix the issue with empty cells - all TextFields will be rendered with the same height)
3. set the property on each TextField which may have long value. The point is that property net.sf.jasperreports.export.xls.auto.fit.row works on Element level only.Also please note that this property won't work for merged cells.
