More mdi fun

ok ;)

This should be simple, but it's resisting me

I have two forms I want to resize and reposition
http://kychat.sourceforge.net/before_tile.png



// this works fine (once you adjust for any button bars etc
childform.height := mainform.clientheight div 2;
childform.width := mainform.clientheight div 2;

//but this...
childform.left := 1;
childform.top := 1;

this _should_ move the form to the top left corner no?

what happens is that it gives me the right height/width, but for some
reason the
controls inside the form are now off center.

but when I click on it, things reseat.

yet, the form's position hasn't budged.

Any clues?
