It seems no combination of lock-top, -left, -right, -bottom deals with this.
No, some combination will certainly deal with it. For example,
unchecking ALL of those checkboxes is one solution; then when you
resize the window, these controls won't move at all (and so they
won't overlap).
A probably more desirable solution would be to LockBottom the ones on
bottom, and both LockBottom and LockTop the ones in the middle. Then
the ones in the middle will stretch out as the window grows. For
left/right, choose which column of items you want to stretch, and
check both LockLeft and LockRight on those. (And if that was the
left column, then be sure to check only LockRight on the rightmost
column.)
So there are lots of solutions using the lock properties that will
allow your UI to resize without the fields overlapping.
Best,
