Howdy,
Some time ago, I figured out that long-frustrating problem of "Why the Field Drops 1000 Lines, when Horizontally Aligned." You know, that development issue where you are working on a Group Section, you have a couple fields at the top of the section, you either Bottom or Top align and ... suddenly ... on of the objects vanishes a few thousand pages to the bottom of the section? That Issue appears to be caused by Fields not being of equal height and attempting to align an offending field 'above' the top of the page.
So, what about Columnar/Tabular sections. I have all my columns laid out the way the users want them. I touch a column and it ... suddenly ... jumps across the screen and plants itself somewhere else. Worse, it does the same thing - Every Time I Touch It.
I know, the quick answer is to stop being a column abuser and stop touching the dang column. But it is habit forming. Like reaching for the forbidden Nestle Crunch bar - before children have a chance to strike it from the Halloween Bowl...
Out of frustration - why do the columns decide they want to be somewhere else?
Frustrated with Column Dancing!
