Any ideas? UserForm Initialization doing funny things.

I have a userform that shows or hides different controls based on what is selected from ListBox1. It also adjusts the left and top values of the appropriate controls depending on that selection, just to make everything look good. So upon initialization it sets the left and top values of each control to a beginning position, and sets each control .visible = False except for Listbox1. When you make a selection from ListBox1, the appropriate controls become visible and the left and top values are adjusted to make it look uniform. Everything was working really well, but now for some reason it's acting a bit funny.

Here's my issue. When I first open the userform and all that is showing is my Listbox1, when I make a selection everything is in the right spot, except the top values are way too much. I have a button on the form that resets the form by calling the UserForm_Initialize sub. If I click that, and then make another selection from listbox1, the top value of the controls is then correct. So basically the first time I make open the form the top values are wrong, but if I re-call the initialization sub it corrects itself. Any idea why it would do this?

Code:
'Reset Form button
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
UserForm_Initialize
End Sub

That is my reset button code, so all it is doing is rerunning the initialize sub again, so I don't know why it won't work right the first time running the code.

Any Ideas?

Here's my Initialize sub, in case you're curious.

Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
