Field Text, Button Labels Creeping to the Right?

It seems like this has to be my fault, and I'll probably figure out that it is, but I thought I'd ask if anybody has seen this before.

A strange thing is happening in my application, both the IDE and the standalone. As I use the app (going from card to card then back), text in fields is slowly creeping to the right. Button labels are also creeping to the right. I thought maybe the alignment for the field or the button text was being set to "right" instead of "center", but this is not the case. I also checked the field's contents to see if spaces were being inserted at the beginning, and they aren't. The buttons and fields themselves are either not moving or not moving as quickly as the text.

I did have problems with the stack's being infected with Geometry Manager info, but I used Mark's excellent script to remove that (http://forums.runrev.com/phpBB2/viewtop ... =9&t=13510). Could some Geometry Manager code remain somewhere?

It sounds like it. Fields don't move unless they are scripted to do so. But I'm not sure whether you're saying the field stays put and the text itself is changing (i.e., the margins are getting wider) or whether the location of the field is actually changing. If it's the margins then it isn't geometry.
