Unexpected Changes in Form and Report Properties after Build and Export

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Build from source on a laptop or a different screen rezolution from the one that exported source.
2. Export all source right after the build.

Expected Behavior:

Expected the exported source to be the same as the imported, since no changes was made.

Actual Behavior:

Upon exporting the source, MS Access made unexpected changes to various form and report properties. For example:

• On Form "A" the FormHeader Height property changed Height =334 ==> Height =342
• Form "A" Label "lblTitle" Left property changed Left =3255 ==> Left =3248
• Label "lblTitle" LayoutCachedLeft changed LayoutCachedLeft=3255 ==> LayoutCachedLeft=3248
• Label "lblTitle" LayoutCachedWidth changed LayoutCachedWidth =8250 ==> LayoutCachedWidth =8243
• All forms containing Buttons, properties WebImagePaddingLeft, WebImagePaddingTop, WebImagePaddingRight, WebImagePaddingBottom changed
• Reports PageFooter property Locked has been added to some of the reports and removed from some other reports.

The result is that git says 257 changes has been made.

Version Information:

"Info": {
    "AddinVersion": "3.4.23",
    "AccessVersion": "16.0 64-bit"
  }

Reproducibility:

I can reproduce it on any laptop or pc.

Note: Please let me know if any additional information is required to address this issue. I am aware that this may not have anything to do with the add-in, but I'm hoping someone may have found a workaround.

Thank you Sir

@Festiis - One other tip to pass along... You might want to try the beta version as well. It is pretty close to general release, and has many improvements over version 3.
