Form resizing cause fields to move

We're seeing odd behavior for Timesheet Entry (Lines) when the form is resized. This is the form normally:

But when resized, the Earn Code and Multiplier fields jump to random spots on the form, like this:

There are no customizations on this form (even though I categorize this as a customization issue, only because Sage City forces me to pick something and they're all N/A).

Anybody seen this before? Suggestions?

    Just for my clarification ... is the menu path for this like the following?

    Yes, that's it. And from the "Process Timesheets" form, it's the "Enter Timesheets" button.

    I'll preface this with while I have worked on the product for years, I never really do timesheet stuff unless I am testing stuff that needs it as part of it's testing.

    When I look at the current form (including back to Sage 500 ERP 2016, I see a form that looks like:

    Notice the captions are different, control placement is different, and that those three controls are not there.  Resizing the current form really only supports a horizontal widening and merely shows more of the grid.  Looking at the source code, I see no obvious controls with the names you highlight (sometimes controls can be conditionally shown so I looked for controls that would indicate the names shown on the screen).

    I can't help but wonder if your form has been customized at the source code level by a partner or other type of developer, which is often different that using the Sage 500 ERP customizer function.  I could be wrong here, but that is what my quick look would seem to indicate.   Perhaps a power user who deals with timesheets on a real everyday basis could confirm or reject this initial thought.

    Another possible test would be to right click in the controls.  Sage 500 ERP programmed controls usually offer a "What's this?" help options, while third party supplied controls sometimes do not.

    If you are using a third party (partner or otherwise) modified form, you should contact them for possible resolution.
