My main form was set to position := poDesigned, scaled := false, WindowState 
:= wsMaximized. When the program was run, the form opened to its maximized 
state without any visible delay. Somehow though, I must have changed the 
position to poScreenCenter accidentally, compiled and then saved the whole 
project. When I noticed my mistake, I reset the position back to poDesigned, 
compiled and saved again.

Since then my program shows some weird behaviour. When I start the 
application, the main form appears at its designtime position first with its 
designtime width and height, stays in this state long enough to notice it, 
and then maximizes. Before this was not recognizable.

Has anybody seen this behaviour before?

Thx
Uwe

Uwe,

   Try opening up the form in text mode and look around for some other saved 
properties that might be cause extra things to get executed.

Thanks for the hint, but that's of course one thing I did before I posted 
here. I even looked for the old "VerticalScrollBar" bug, but nothing has 
been added to the dfm. Any other ideas?
