Why does the same form look 'different' depending on if I click the pencil or a field in a row in a report

I have been staring at this all day. For the role, I have Hide Multi-record Options checked for All Tables. On a table (Tickets) I have a report with custom columns, no formulas, Initial Filter ...

If you are asking how to disable Grid Edit when editing a form and here is an embedded report?  If so that is a form properties setting for the embedded report.

"Editable"

    Backwards - I start with the report and want to allow someone to edit a few of the columns in the report - one row at a time.

    When I click the pencil on the row in the report I see the same form but the columns (RTF is the big one) are of varying width.

    I do want to also not let a user select more than one row in the report for updating (as I understand it, no Grid Edit and I think I have that turned off).

      What is your question?

      Are you asking why the field widths look different when Viewing a record vs Editing a record?

        I think you said the magic words which also explain why I see something different at the top of the page.

        When I click on the field, it opens the form for 'view'? (yes).

        When I click on the pencil for the row, it opens the form for 'edit'? (yes).

        It looks like when the form is opened for view, I have to click on the pencil to get the form in edit.

        Yay - this makes perfect sense - 

        I haven't looked yet, is there a way to disable the 'view' from the field in the report so the user has to click the pencil  for the row to get the form immediately into edit?
