Primary development environment is on Mac v10.6 Snow Leopard. Target platform is Win32. App runs fine under Mac OS X, but under XP it will auto-maximize despite having set the properties to be smaller than the screen resolution i.e. the properties are ignored. And only under Windows XP. Under Vista it works as programmed. What could be the possible cause(s)? To get around this problem the app has to be set to MDI but I would really prefer not to do so.

It produces an executable called "Order.exe" but because it maximizes under Windows XP all the controls are out of position.

But this behavior is not stored between application launches so it may very well be a bug but only under Windows XP. Another way is to explicitly declare the window's dimensions in the window's "Maximize" event handler. Kldugy, but works. How do I go about filing a bug report in these parts?

Make sure you include a sample project... if you can't get it to do it with a simple project then it might be something in your code, and might be more difficult to find than a simple "bug always exists". I know I haven't seen this bug while testing my apps in my virtual XP (running Parallels 4.0 on OS X 10.6).

I ran it under VMWare and even here at the office which is a 100% bona fide Windows XP system and both showed the same problem. The sample project is the one that came with RB, "Reports Example.rbp". Ironically the feedback app also has this same problem. Bug report filed.
