The file I downloaded is 580.6 KiB. Is this the same one you tried to send?

Okay, so...

On first run, the application does show what you have stated, ie. the controls are not laid out as expected.

And, this is why:
LabelAstroGrepSearch is positioned at Y=0 and has H=42.
LabelSearchPath is positioned at Y=35; it overlaps LabelAstroGrepSearch.

I moved the three ComboBoxes with their Labels down by 7 so that LabelSearchPath is positioned at Y=42.

Fixed!

Is this a bug, or is the developer expected to ensure that controls are not overlapped? I don't know.

I also discovered, quite by accident, that setting the Text property of any of the ComboBoxes also mitigated the issue. (Benoît, 
I've attached a 'diff' file created with 'FMain.form~' as the reference file in case it helps.)
