Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
1. Create a new project in Visual FoxPro called "Test" (without the quotation
marks).
2. With the Test project maximized, click the Classes tab. Click the New button
in the Project Manager to create a new class.
3. Enter Cmdtst as the class name. Base the class on CommandGroup, and save it
in C:\Vfp\Repro.vcx. (This path assumes C: is the current drive and Vfp is
the Visual FoxPro root directory. This may need to be modified to suit
individual configurations.)
4. When the Class Designer window appears, drag the border surrounding the
command group out enough to provide room to reposition command buttons. Save
the class. The Repro class library should now appear in the Classes tab of
the Test project.
5. Click the Documents tab in the Test project. With Forms highlighted, click
the New button in the project manager to create a new form.
6. When the Form Designer window appears, make sure the Form Controls toolbar is
visible. Click the View Classes button in the Form Controls toolbar, and
select Add from the menu. Add C:\Vfp\Repro.vcx. The Form Controls toolbar
should now change so that it contains the Cmdtst class. Click the Cmdtst
class, and add it to the form.
7. Save the form as REPROTST.
8. Click the Classes tab on the Test project, and modify the Cmdtst class. When
the Class Designer window appears, select and move one of the command buttons
in the group to another position inside the border. Move the command button
enough to be noticeably out of place. Save the class.
9. Click the Documents tab from the Test project, and modify the Reprotst form.
The change in position made in the class is not inherited by the instance of
the class on the form.
