Issues that the hotfix package fixes

This hotfix fixes the following issues that were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

• You view the Cumulative Percent Complete field in the Timescale section of the Task Usage view in a project plan. If a task's % Complete field is set to 100 percent, the Cumulative Percent Complete field may be incorrect. This problem may occur because the Cumulative Percent Complete field does not calculate the totals across the duration at the topmost summary level.
  
• You view the Actual Fixed Cost field in the Task Usage view in a project plan that contains multiple tasks. If you change the timescale to Months/Days, the value of the Actual Fixed Cost field in the Summary Task is time-phased until the finish date of the first task.
  
• You use the Updating task status updates resource status option in a project plan. When you run the Leveling function, the end dates of some tasks may be calculated incorrectly.
