I have a nav bar thats docked left. Inside I have a button followed by a tab strip. If i play the screen in runtime everything is layed out fine. If i Launch the runtime application the button shifts down to the middle of the tab strip.

I have checked every setting and layout position, does anyone has any ideas on how to get the button to stay above the tab strip? thanks
