Thanks for writing! That was a great idea, although it did not work. And all my fields are already set to float. I'm wondering whether some of the problem might be related to those "invisible" field frames--the ones you would not see unless you activated (highlighted) them by enclosing them in a region with the mouse. I can't find any documentation about how they work.
