"CenterParent" not working

Not a critical problem, just annoying:

Normally I use :
this.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterParent;
in the constructor of a dialog to make sure it doesn't show up in the
corner of the screen somewhere. But sometimes it doesn't work. I
suspect that it interacts with another property.

I've also tried setting via the Property Page...same result: The
position seems to shift, just not to where you'd expect.

Anyone know about this?
 
When you Show() / ShowDialog(), etc - do you specify the parent via
the overload?

If you want the property to work consistently, then you need to
consistently set the parent. You can do this by passing a reference to
the parent to the ShowDialog() method.

If that doesn't work, then something odd is going on. You should post a
concise-but-complete sample of code that reliably reproduces the problem
in that case.
