Reading this and the other post about the line height I wonder if you 
are relying on property inheritence for the textSize (and other font 
properties).

If the text* properties of your fields are empty they will be inheriting 
their values from the ancestor objects - this would account for why the 
appearance of them changes when you move them into different groups.
