Moving the InfoPane radio buttons

Just thought I'd ask a quick question here before I pull out the Developer's Guide and dig in.

My current instrument is deployed on a number of handheld PC tablets using a stylus for input.

While I have made some changes to my modelib file, I still use many of the default settings.

My users have reported some issues with inadvertently selecting an answer other than the one they thought they were pointing at.

An example will probably be best. Given the hypothetical question ...

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet?

 O 1. Eieny        	O 5. Huey
 O 2. Meeny	        O 6. Dewey
 O 3. Miny              O 7. Louie
 O 4. Moe          	O 8. Stewie

If the users intend to select "Huey", and they miss Huey's radio button a little to the left, they inadvertently select "Eieny".

Likewise, say they want "Dewey" but the stylus strays a little left of the intended target, and "Meeny" is selected instead.

I'm hoping that moving the radio buttons a little to the right (within their own columns) will do the trick - I've just never tried that before.

Does anyone know the modelib setting for adjusting the position of the radio buttons in the InfoPane?

As far as I know, there is no modelib setting for adjusting the position of the radio buttons in the InfoPane. Perhaps it helps when you increase the size of the radio buttons. There is a setting called 'Button size'. What you specify is how much size needs to be increased from the default.
