Hello Karen,
On windows XP sp2 I get exactly the same, so it's not a 'Mac-only
feature' ;-)
Do you know the bug-iD?
Kind regards,
Andre

Not with the RB2006R3 IDE !!!! If you did you would see the issue.
If there's something not working, please file a report with some easy
steps to reproduce -- I had a hard time figuring out what exactly you
were doing above, which is why I didn't reply the first time :)
What's to figure out? To parphrase Yoda: "Do ***WITH Rb2006R3*** NOT
figure!" ;)
What's easier than this? In a new project :
1) Create a container control (ContainerControl1)... in my case it had
two bevelButtons on it -one as button the other as menu)
2) Create a new Class (Class1). Assign it's super to ContainerControl1.
3) Go to the default window (window1) in layout mode
4) Select project Controls and try to drag Class1 onto the window to
create an instance.
What you get is a tiny little selection outline (as small as possible
I think) and if you click elsewhere it disappears in the IDE
5) Try Double Clicking Class1 entry to add it to the window. You get a
selection outline the size of the window instead of the size of the
super container control. You can can resize teh selection enclosing
the invisible control ... but click elsewhere and it disappears as it
is not visible
But if you run the project the subclassed container control appears in
the app as it should.
If you can't see it in the layout editor it makes using subclassed
container controls in a UI VERY difficult.
