Processing only report is showing: 'Report is being rendered'

[MaartenGerritsen]

Describe the bug

In a report with the following properties: ProcessingOnly = true; ShowPrintStatus = false; there is still a window shown saying:

Working on it... The report is being rendered. This can take a while, depending on the number of rows that have been generated.

But there is nothing to render!

To Reproduce Steps and to reproduce the behavior:

Create a report like:

report 50100 "Test"
{
    Caption = 'Test';
    ProcessingOnly = true;
    ShowPrintStatus = false;

    dataset
    {
    }

    trigger OnPostReport()
    begin
        Sleep(5000);
        Message('Ready!');
    end;
}

If you program your own dialog, then the 'rendering' message is not shown.

unless an own dialog is programmed, like:

    trigger OnPostReport()
    var
        i: Integer;
        Window: Dialog;
    begin
        Window.Open('test #1#############');
        for i := 1 to 5 do begin
            sleep(1000);
            Window.Update(1, i);
        end;
        Window.Close();
        Message('Ready!');
    end;

Expected behavior Another message saying something like: processing. Or better, a progress bar.
