Report server viewer renders incorrectly but exporting yields correct output!

I have a rather complicated report with lots and lots of textbox and line controls. When I preview the report on the Report Server the layout is all kinds of skewed and all kinds of stuff is out of place. But when I export the report to PDF or TIFF, the output reverts to it's proper form. Why is it doing this? Is there anything that I can do to not make it so ugly when previewing?

Does it seem like there are line feeds where there really shouldn't be? Try changing the width of your report.

The line controls have been an issue for me. In my layout I have a couple of lines that extend past where they would logically go then when I previewed in VS the line would be well short of where I wanted, and then when I exported out to PDF it rendered fine. Now I am loading the reports onto a Report Server and getting an even crazier preview output.
