I just had this situation with a pagepanel yesterday. My problem  
arose from copying some controls from another window and pasting them  
into one of the pages. At that point, in the IDE everything looked  
fine. When I went to run the project, that's when I got the scrambled  
eggs. I stopped the run, and back in the IDE everything looks normal.  
I quit RB, and then start it up again, now the controls are a mess  
just like they were on the last run. Out of frustration, I select the  
pagepanel and hit delete, intending to just drag back in a copy of it  
>from my previously saved version of the project and add the new  
controls individually. But on a whim, I undo the delete, and voila,  
the panel is back with everything in its proper place, including the  
newly pasted controls. Worked fine in the IDE and runtime.

I can't say I'd recommend this voodoo approach, but in this situation  
it worked out. Just thought I'd share that FWIW.
