Controls pushed off to the right

This is pretty weird... any controls past the halfway horizontal point of the report get pushed into page 2. The leftmost control is not affected just those to the right of it. It's like there is an invisible tab after the leftmost control. Smaller (not leftmost controls) (not past the middle of the page) are also pushed way to the right (just not into a new page)

Is there some property (that I'm not aware of) that does this? It doesn't matter if I use textboxes or lines. I have not changed any of the default control properties. flow layout is still LTR.
In my current report I have questions and answers on separate lines...I can't place them next to each other or it screws up the pagination.

I start with a new report and it does not do this but as soon as I add 2-3 vertical pages (over 11' x 2) This starts happening.

Has anyone experienced this?

I have experienced this in trying to lay out textboxes next to each other. The one to the right ends up getting pushed much further to the right then I want it to. The I've found to stop this from happening is to put both of my text boxes in a rectangle and then size the rectangle to match the width of the page. Then I can place my text boxes where I want within the rectangle and they'll stay put, for the most part.
