Interface Builder changing size of controls...

I cannot seem to find any documentation on this behavior and I really do not
understand what Interface Builder is doing and why.  Sometimes, when I add a
control to a window, it automatically sets the control size to "mini."  For
instance, I added a multiline label to a new window to advise the user about
some of the settings.  When I try to add more controls (label, button, text
field), all subsequent controls are automatically set to "mini."
I can go into the Size Inspector and set the control size back to "regular,"
but, without any explanation of why Interface Builder is doing this, it is
quite annoying.  What is even more weird is that the Apple Human Interface
Guidelines say: "Mixing and matching controls of different sizes in the same
window looks strange and makes aligning those controls more difficult."  So,
does anyone know why Interface Builder would do this?
