Hi Dave,
One reason why this may happen is the Geometry manager.
Another reason is the margins of the group. If the margins are set to 0
and you're using the GM or have a resizing script somewhere, the
controls often tend to walk.
Also, if you're using rect, top, left, bottom, right and
25:34 and 34:55 are not valid dateTimes, so where those lines get sorted
to is not well undefined; it looks as though LC simply decides to give
them a '0:00'.
Apart from those two lines, it looks (to me) like the result is correct.
Isn't it ?

Well in one of the stacks the relevant controls (fields and graphics) are
