Marian,

It's bug http://www.runrev.com/revolution/developers/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi? id=1856, please vote for it.

The characteristics are this:

1. create a bunch of different controls (fields, labels, checkboxes, etc.) and set them all to Arial 12 (not necessary, but you can see the effect on a cross-platform font this way)
2. make sure they all have some text in them.
3. line them up horizontally so that the baslines all match horizontally
4. place a horizontal line on top of them, at the baseline
5. move the stack to the PC
6. you'll see that all the fields/labels have moved up 1 pixel and the other controls have moved down 1 pixel relative to the horizontal line. In other words, the baselines no longer match up.

Pray tell what exactly are the characteristics of the baseline bug?  I
think that may be causing the problems I am having with carefully
aligned buttons and accompanying fields that look fine on one platform
being way off on the other (PC vs Mac).

Where can I find more information about this bug?
