Form fields copy when adjusting for size

Hello all 

 

I am pretty new to the Prepare Forms tools on Adobe Acrobat Pro.

 

I have successfully adjusted many form fields sizes to match in the past few weeks, but today, my form is duplicating the form fields in addition to adjusting their size/aligning them. This is extremely time-consuming because then I have to delete the undesired form fields.

 

I select all the form fields that I want to adjust/align. Then I right click over the field that is my target size/alignment and select the option "Set Fields to Same Size." In my document, a whole new set of duplicate form fields appears directly underneath the ones I initially selected with the new size/alignment. Am I doing something wrong? I have attached the document here.

 

Thank  you!

Sorry to respond to an old thread, but is there any way to stop this behavior? I find it very hard to select multiple fields with CTRL held as just the very slightest movement of the mouse turns Select into COPY+PASTE. I have my mouse mouse speed pretty high, so this is constant problem for me. 

 

I'm not sure I even understand the intended reason for this "feature," so maybe help me understand that as well if there isn't any way to turn it off? 

 

Thanks.
