I find the same. The problem is that Captivate interpolates pixels and
colours to resize - and [speculation] the background image is resized with a
separate calculation from the one that resize your text entry, since the
text entry field is captured as separate object. The resized object must be
made into a fixed-pixel size, but will often scale slightly differently from
the background.

I've found no workaround when using rescale, and wouldn't expect to find
one, since the scaling process does not produce an object that is sized to
fractions of a pixel.

However, if, instead of rescaling your project, you leave it at the original
size, and change the displayed size in the html file that is published with
your swf file, you should find that scaling is much better, with no shift in
sizes when you reach the text entry. The reason for this is that the
published swf file will be dynamically rescaled while it is running, and the
entire project is rescaled as one object, rather than multiple separate
objects.
