~ delphi forms pixelsperinch issues
An issue that one may come across when opening up a delphi project is the PixelsPerInch property may be set at 96, but in order for delphi not to behave strangely, it must be set to 120. This issue causes problems with the widgets on the form.

It may have to do with the Windows Font size in "Display" settings (100%, 125%, 150%). The default in Windows 7 is 125% but many developers use 100%, so when you open up a project that another developer worked on, the PixelsPerInch may be 96, and you need it set at 120 to operate correctly.

Widgets on the form may act strangely and continually change positions or sizes, annoying the piss out of you every time you reopen the project. With the correct PixelsPerInch setting the problem goes away.
