Can Grow/Can Shrink not working correctly

I have a report that has 4 text boxes aligned horziontally. They are
basically on top of each other. I have all text boxes to Can Grow as well as
Can Shrink. The Detail section is set to Can Grow as well as Can Shrink.
Yet I still have some text boxes overlapping AND/OR blank spaces when the
text box is null.

Any ideas??

Thanks!

Make sure that the bottom of all TextBoxes do not extend below the top of
the TextBox beneath it. There can be no overlap in design view if you want
CanGrow to work properly.
 
I doubled checked- they are not touching at all. Yet I still am having the
same issue. ???

Are there any controls to the sides of the ones you expect to grow/shrink?
A control cannot grow/shrink if there are any controls beside it that don't
also grow/shrink on that same row. This inlcudes lines and boxes and such.
 
Thanks Rick for all your help so far...

All the text boxes in the detail section are set to Grow and Shrink.

Any other ideas???
