Property dialog problem

[Jeremy Penton]

After being unable to find a reference to this problem in the forum - here's my first post.

I discovered this annoyance and eventually the cause.

I have a textbox on a form. Working with the Properties tab in the FireFly Workspace, I can change textbox properties such as BackColor, Font and MaxLength. However, when I attempt to change the Height, Width, Top or Left property and click to change another property, the property sheet changes to the form, although the textbox retains the focus.

After experimenting for a while, I discovered this affects any control placed on the form that has Height, Width, Top or Left properties (all of them!). The cause of the problem was that form's TabControlChildAutoSize property was set to True. Setting this property to False resolves the problem and each dimension property can be changed successfully. The TabControlChildAutoSize can be set back to True when changes have been completed.

The question: Is this a bug or a design feature?  :roll:
