Hi Garth,

I feel like I might not be completely understanding your question, but  
if I do, I've run into a similar problem in the past.  If you right- 
click (or ctrl-click with a one-button mouse/trackpad) on your  
workspace somewhere, one of the items in the contextual menu is  
"Select".  Hold your mouse over this, and a list of all the controls  
in the current workspace will show up.  Look for the one with the  
errant left value and click on it, and then the properties pane should  
show the values for that object, so you can get rid of that blasted  
extra digit.

HTH!

Cheers,

Jon
