I believe I've checked for that. But after the form comes up blank, I'll invoke the debugger and toggle themes, lockscreen, visible, raiseevent activate, setfocus, paint and everything else I can think of to no avail. The controls are there taking input but just invisible. And again, it's only sometimes. Other times the form appears perfectly fine. That's the puzzler.

Better an interesting life than a dull one, I suppose!
