MDI Parent window height shrinks on restore (after minimize/maximize) if an MDI child is maximized












0















Whenever I minimize or maximize an MDI Parent form while it has a child form maximized, the height of the MDI Parent shrinks by roughly 20px.



I started out with .Net Framework 4.0 and had this problem, so I tried other versions and continued to have problem.



Here are some steps to replicate (trying 4.7.1 this time):




  1. Closed all instances of VS2017 and open VS2017.

  2. File > New > Project.

  3. Name: MdiTest2; Framework 4.7.2; Hit OK.

  4. Set Form1 "IsMdiContainer" to True.

  5. Right-click project > Add > Windows Form... Called this ChildForm.vb.

  6. Went back to Form1, doubl-clicked form.

  7. Set Form1 load event to following:




    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        Dim frm As New ChildForm

        frm.MdiParent = Me

        frm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized

        frm.Show()



    End Sub



  1. Started debugging

  2. Drag Parent form somewhere so that you'll notice changes to height of form (align the bottom of form with another form, icon, or top of taskbar).

  3. Maximize the form and then click restore button... Notice form resizes

  4. Minimize the form and then click the icon for it on the taskbar...

  5. Notice the form resizes (for me), the top of the form stays at original location, but the bottom border moves up ~20px.

  6. If I continue to click the apps icon on taskbar, it will continue to shrink ever time the form is restored.


Is anyone able to replicate this or is this just a bug on my machine? My resolution is 2560x1440 and scaling is set to 100%. If I change AutoScaleMode on Form1 and ChildForm from "Font" (default) to "None", I still have this problem. If I do not have an MDI Child form maximized when I Minimize/Maximize the MDI Parent, the MDI Parent height does not shrink when restored.
