To reproduce:

1. Create new Winforms project from MM WinForm Application Template in VS 2005
2. Replace MainForm.Designer.cs with the following code
3. Run the application

Observed:

Menu is not visible in design time when focus is not in menu.
Menu is not visible when application is running.

How to make menu visible ?

protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
if (disposing && (components != null))
{

}
