I thought VS2008 form designer was WYSIWYG. It appears not to be
though, and I dont know what to do about it.

I have looked at some properties of the form and of the components
placed on it (ListViews, linklabels etc) trying to find out if there
is a property that is causing this behaviour.
I got somewhat closer to WYSIWYG by setting "None" as anchor on all
components, but some components still has a somewhat different
position when running the application compared to design mode.

Is there a downside with setting anchor property to "None" on all
components that are contained in the form (my FormBorderStyle is
FixedToolWindow, so the user will not be able to resize the form)?

Is there a better way of getting WYSIWYG (that works on all components
on the form)?

As it is now, it all seems so arbitrary how my GUI ends up looking at
runtime.
