Ok, this is looking familiar-- have a look at tidy-test.pd, select 
each group of objects one at a time and do 'tidy up':
1. Works as it should.
2. Objects are below the y-threshold, so they (understandably) 
collapse.
3. Works as it should.
4. Objects spaced 30 px apart vertically seem arbitrarily to no 
longer get tidy.
5. Horizontal row of objects gets tidy (with arbitrarily large space 
in between any two objects).  Works as it should-- columns of objects 
should behave the same way.

Now select all and tidy.  Notice that #3 now gives different results.
