spending by category - graph/report

Trying to get a handle on our spending expenses...

Ran the report - Spending by Category - last 12 months... After some fiddling with the category & account checkboxes to not double dip with the credit card payments vs the charges, things seem ok...

Question on the graph - I've a visual person :) Does the breakdown only show pie slices till .... A - less than 2% for the category ? B - only show top 10 + the "Other" for remaining items ?

Now that I just typed and counted, I'm guessing the programming is set at a fixed top 10 count for pie slices...

I also which the slices, or the sidebar table would show BOTH the percentage AND the actual amounts.

FYI in Q2011 the Home tab has a Customize item called "See Where Your Money Goes." It's similar to the Spending by Category graph except that it shows all categories, not just the first 10. It also shows both amounts and percentages. Unfortunately the only selection options are Date Range and Accounts.

Q2010 also has the "See Where Your Money Goes" item but it only shows the top 10 + "Other", doesn't show percentages, has a very limited set of Time Range choices and no Account selection option.
