I have a problem that is more of a cosmetic issue... I am in the middle of creating this program and since it is still in the works, form time to time I mess with the look of the form like putting common controls inside a group box, changing the size of textboxes etc. I have started to notice, however, that I am starting to develop what I've been calling phantom textboxes (esp. since it doesn't help to use terms like "hidden" or "invisible" when searching Google). In the designer mode, these phantoms are not visible and there is no way to highlight them; they don't exist (as they shouldn't). However when executing the code, either in Debug mode or by building the project and running that build, one can see stray lines or partial boxes where textboxes used to be... hence why I've called them phantom textboxes (See attached pictures).

Picture of the same part of the form when executing the code. Note the lines pointed out by the red arrows.
I'm basically trying to find where these are coming from and how to get rid of them. I'm thinking I'll have to go into the designer code that VS makes behind the scenes to describe how to make the textboxes. But I really have no idea, so any help would be appreciated.
