Standard Reports appear to freeze - nothing happens when running system reports

Troubleshooting


Problem

User launches a 'standard report' (also known as a 'system report'). The report will (by default) start to appear in an HTML format. User waits but nothing happens - the report generation appears to have frozen. In other words, when running a standard report the window appears, but it contains only a white / blank screen.

Symptom

Depending on the environment, Acrobat Reader may pop up (but disappears soon afterwards).
