Visual Studio WinForm Bug Or Am I Doing Something Wrong?

I have a WinForm that mysteriously changes height seemingly randomly. Usually everything is evenly spaced, but sometimes when I look back at my form, it has a large margin under the bottom button.

This is pretty weird, I'm not sure what's going on here, but I hate changing it back each time it happens. Whatever the case may be, I'm not manually changing the height so that gap is there, but could I be doing something else that causes this to happen?

Please let me know if you have an idea of what's happening here, thanks!

There are about a dozen factors involved (FormBorderStyle, ScaleMode, FontSize, Anchors, Docking, ...).

You mentioned exactly 0 of them.

Neither are we.

Override or subscribe to the form size changed event, and set a breakpoint in it in the debugger. This will let you know what operation it is that causes the form to change size. From there, you should be able to debug it.

If you find the gap appearing consistently, yuo can consider setting the MaximumSize property of the form to the desired size. That should prevent it from growing.
