Finally got around to test this app. My conclusion is that the app
itself is broken. The control misalignment is caused by a varying size
of the default application font (in Windows it is "MS Sans Serif"). This
problem can also be replicated in native Windows by selecting "Large
Fonts" in Control Panel->Display, in the Advanced options of the last tab.
