Microsoft Access Form Auto Shifting Over when Typing in Text Box

In MS Access, if a user does not have the screen of the form maxed out like the first image.

enter image description here

Then when I go to type in the Comment section, the form shifts to the right and I can’t see the information to the left of it.

enter image description here

My question would be how do I stop the form from shifting over. I have users that use this form on multiple screen sizes.

  1. Turn off form scroll bars in the form properties.

  2. Make the form not so horrendously humongous. (You don't need text boxes that wide.)

  3. Use a sub-form instead.

  4. Make the form "prettier" and more user-friendly. It looks like you slapped it together with a wizard and didn't change anything afterwards. Find some tutorials about form building, creating a positive user-friendly experience, etc.
