Well, originally it worked that way. However, there might be very long query for report, as well as user can design report not knowing what fields really needed for it or not having data handy. Process flow in such case: Create report layout, design report, then, later, create query and run it, then test query if it returns correct result for report. When designing report, it is not possible to know what fields are required to create temporary empty cursor for it. When using it even without records, report preview show errors for fields that does not exists in the temporary cursor. When using no cursor, preview cause Open dialog box, that also not a good thing. This is a main reason why preview should be disabled.
