# To subscribers of the xforms list from "Sexton, Veronica" <sextonv@DOIMEX1.SILL.ARMY.MIL> :

Are you scalling the form in any way? (i.e. fl_adjust_form_size) If so, you
are doing this _after_ the text is set in the first input box. Therefore
the font size and scale is changed. You might try setting the text _after_
you do the scaling. (This includes using the option to make the form full
screen, which also does some scaling I believe. I had problems with this
also, since some objects I placed at creation, and others I placed
dynamically -- which were _supposed_ to line up with the others. I ended up
querying the position for the ones created early and using those values to
position the new ones. )

Does the problem go away when you enter new text into the first text object?

Hope this helps!
