Hi,
It is possible that you are using special shapes that are designed to grow/shrink with the amount of text in them.
For example, the "Auto-height box" shape will change its height when in add text, but maintains its width.
But the "Auto-size box" will grow in both width and height. You have to manually hit Enter to control when new lines happen.
This auto-sizing behavior is very useful for particular situations. For your situation, not so much. I would suggest using simple rectangles using the Rectangle tool, or using standard flowchart shapes (if you are diagramming a flowchart). Or just create text boxes using the Text tool.
You can also move the pin/rotation point of a shape to the left side by clicking the status bar (lower-left corner) when shapes are selected,. Edit the "Pin Pos". Even grow-ie shapes won't move so much if they have a pin location on the left. They'll just grow to the right, but will stay left-aligned.
Hope this helps!
