I have a similar problem posted by elicat on 12/4/02. I have a mdicontainer, when I create an instance of a child (startposition = windowsdefaultlocation) it appears as though the form is displayed once and removed, a second time with the form mostly removed and finally a third time (completely visible). I believe the form tries to display three times is because the visible occurrences are cascaded in the mdi container with the final image located where the third occurrence should be.
If I set the startposition to manual, everything works fine.
The really odd thing is that I have another form that I open as a child and it works fine. nothing drastically different about the two forms except for the controls on the form.
