Orphaned ControlBox in MDI child

[Guest]

So, I have this MDI application. Occasionally, if I have a few MDI children open, and then close one of them, the ControlBox for the MDI children becomes duplicated, right next to one another in the far upper right hand corner, below the ControlBox for the MDI parent. It has the appearrance of Minimize, Maximize, Close, Minimize, Maximize, Close(except it looks like the Underscore, Line at top of box, Capital X duplicated). Both of the ControlBoxes seem to work. However, if I close all of the MDI children, after the last one is closed, there is still a ControlBox remaining, orphaned, below the ControlBox for the MDI parent? Odd huh

That's a well-known bug. I feel sorry, but I don't know a solution.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for reporting this to us.
This is a known bug in our bug database. And I find that it is possible
that this may be fixed in our next version of visual studio. But i can't
guarantee a solution of this issue at this time.
Thanks again for your understanding.

Hi,
I have a very similar problem. Usually this occurs when I maximize the
child form. Do you known if there is any fix or workaround for this
bug?
Thanks
