Controls moving about by themselves (OpenInsight 16-Bit Specific)

I am seeing some cases where dropdown list box controls are not in the same place I left them.
In form designer, some dropdown controls appear an inch or so down the screen, and not where they were originally positioned.
No rhyme or reason, no pattern, no specific windows, although I have a tendency to think it may be those within group boxes.
I am putting them back in their place, with a little thump on the head and 'dont do it again', but its a worry.
I am a bit scared that the application a user gets will have these in the wrong place and the application will look a mess.
Anyone have any ideas why, or experienced similar things?

Colin,
I can't recall having ever seen what you describe. You say you re-open a window in Form Designer, and controls have moved since you last closed the window in Form Designer? (Btw - is there any movement in connection with running the window?)
I've never seen group boxes cause stuff like this.
Is there anything (else) special about your combo drop down list or your window?
- Anchor and/or autosize?
- Multi-page?
- Combo extends beyond the window client area?
- (MDI/child?)
- Etc?
Not that I really suspect any of these as the cause.
