The TextBox is Grouped with the label, so you are resizing the Group.
<Ctrl>Click on the TextBox and you should be able to resize it alone.

You forgot a step. Hold control, click on the field, then you can resize. If I hold control and try to resize it just creates a new field at the same dimensions as the original.

And after a save and quit, nothing works like it did. I think I'm just going to abandon it as after 2 weeks of fighting with this software, I'm done. I guess the people who program it don't use it or something. I dunno, but I'm tired of fighting with it.

I wasn't specific enough. <Ctrl>Click on the TextBox you want to resize. Do not hold the <Ctrl> key while resizing.

Like any unfamiliar software there is a learning curve and it can be frustrating but once you get the hang of Form design it becomes a powerful tool.
