Default Locking form fields

I am creating a form and want to lock a form field. Today, I have a limit of
15 characters in the field. There are three fields in a row. When I type
in the first field, the secon field moves to the right as I type. This
causes text below the form fields to move and I do not want this. Is there
any way to lock a form field in place so it does not move?

Default Locking form fields

Put the field in a borderless table cell of fixed width.
