OK, I found a solution -- the vertical spacer has a property "sizeType" 
which defaults to "Expanding". For the spacer on the left in the labels 
column property, I changed this to "Maximum" and set its vertical size 
equal to 27 which is the height of the line edit controls. Now they line 
up perfectly!
