In the Visual Extend framework, there is a certain form, used with a "File | Open" command, to show a list of available forms.

This form contains a PageFrame and a ListBox. The ListBox is in front of the PageFrame, but it is an independent object (not on any of the pages) - the idea being that its contents are re-loaded depending on the Page selected by the user. (This allows the programmer to divide the forms into categories.)

The queer part is that on some computers, the ListBox sometimes appears outside the form - as if it where an independent object. With the Did anyone ever see a similar behavior? Would this depend on the version of VFP; on the OS version; or on something else?

When I tried this today, giving a software demonstration (arrrg...), the first time there was no problem; but after closing and re-opening the "File | Open" form, the problem appeared. After closing and re-opening the EXE, the same pattern. No problem on first open, only later.
