Why is the field moving to the next line?

    When I am in the build section the items on the form are in their correct position, but when I go to preview if shifts one of them down to the next line.  It looks like everything on the left margin is tight, but I don't have that same look on the right margin.  Can I go into CSS and make that adjustment for the right side?

    When shrinking fields, it's important to take note of the entire Form Width. If the 2nd or 3rd or 4th shrank field on a single line can not occupy the remaining space, it will automatically move to the next line.

    A quick way to fix this is to adjust your FORM WIDTH a little. I changed it from 1000 to 1100 on a cloned copy of your form and here's the result: https://www.jotform.com/72921871043960

    It's worth mentioning that we have a feature called FORM COLUMNS that you may want to check out. If you will be fiddling around with this option, I suggest you clone your form first so you won't overwrite your changes on the current one you're building.
