Further to this, you may be able to fix this by editing the check specification and the Properties of the date field. If the 'auto-size' option is selected, then remove the selection and save. I've duplicated the date field moving slightly to the left after each subsequent check in the run, and disabling this option caused the date to print correctly.

This may have fixed Bruce's situation because their default was to add new fields without the auto-size option enabled.
