How to fix when dragging a usercontrol over groupbox control and the usercontrol size is changing?

Question

I created a UserControl (Windows Forms)...

Then in form1 designer I have a GroupBox and when I'm dragging the new UserControl (DownloadInformation) over the GroupBox the UserControl size is changing and get bigger than what I have set it.

This screenshot is of the UserControl designer, the size is 216, 117:

And this screenshot is when I drag the UserControl in form1 designer and it is in the size I wanted it to be:

And this screenshot is when I drag the UserControl inthe form1 designer of the GroupBox on the left side:

Th size of the UserControl has changed and also the content lines space and everything.

How can I keep the UserControl size when dragging it over the GroupBox?

namespace My_Test
{
    public partial class DownloadInformation : UserControl
    {
        public DownloadInformation()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            var flp = new FlowLayoutPanel
            {
                Width = 216,
                Height = 117,
                Location = new Point(10, 10),
                Font = new Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 14)
            };
            Controls.Add(flp);

            // Put the labels to the dictionary for better processing.
            var labels = new Dictionary<string, string>
            {
                { "Size:", "1.211 MB" },
                { "Downloaded:", "0.727 MB" },
                { "Images left:", "4" },
                { "Speed:", "1.79 MB/s" },
            };

            // Go through each label
            foreach (var line in labels)
            {
                // Each line consists of two labels: Text + Value
                // Each label has its own color.
                flp.Controls.Add(new Label() { Text = line.Key, ForeColor = Color.Green });
                flp.Controls.Add(new Label() { Text = line.Value, ForeColor = Color.Red });

                // Break after each line
                flp.SetFlowBreak(flp.Controls[flp.Controls.Count - 1], true);
            }
        }

        private void DownloadInformation_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }
    }
}

Hi @eshesh michael , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

From experience, it seems to you that this is scaling due to DPI, can't confirm.

Try setting the Usercontrol's AutoScaleMode property to None.
