Andrus,

I've not used this SplitContainer control, but I notice that there are several "AutoScale" properties:

AutoScaleDimensions
AutoScaleFactor
AutoScaleMode

Perhaps the setting of one of these properties is changing the form layout slightly and might account for the value of the SplitterDistance changing?

Just a guess.
