LV 8.20 Window grows taller

I have taken over an application written in LV6.0 which I converted to 8.20.  There are several front panels for configuration and data collection, some of which are loaded dynamically.  Many of the front panels grow taller by about 50 pixels every time they are opened, edited, run and saved.  After several iterations of calling the VI, the panel grows taller than the screen and then becomes a postage-stamp size. 
 
Digging in the code there is a setup module that sets FrontPanel->Origin to 0 0.  Has anybody seen this or can recommend how to prevent this?

I would check to see if autoscale the window in the window appearance properties is turned off.  Maybe it is autoscaling every time it is open.  Also search the code for other calls dealing the with the window properties.  If there is one call to Front Panel origin there maybe others.  I personally have never seen that one before.
