I am not sure if I will be describing this right without seeing it.
Overall I don't wish to be modifying the form1.designer.cs to make
corrections all the time.

I have a form with tabs control. In one of the tabs (last one), it has
in its tab panel:

ToolStrip1 - Docked to Top
SplitterContainer1 - Vertical Docked to Bottom
TreeView1 - Splitter Panel 1 (left) Dock to Panel
RichTextBox1 - Splitter Panel 2 (right) Dock to Panel

Here is what happens.

Intermittently, it appears to happen when I load form1.cs [design],
the ToolStrip1 seems to be go out of order, like to the "Send to the
back" and you don't see it any more.

In other words, its like the SpitterContainer1 is docked to the entire
tab panel.

I have to play around by undocking all, sending controls back or to
the front in order to get the order right and be able to dock it all
correctly.

I don't know if this is a bug, or maybe I should be using different
containers or layouts, in other to get the above.

Any tips, comments, suggestions?

I think I know *what* happens which gives me a quick fix.

*Some how* the ToolStrip1.Visible property becomes FALSE when you load
the form1.cs [design] page. Making it TRUE again, restores the
visibility and layout.

Sounds like a IDE designer mite. It is intermittent and I can say
that might contribute to it is a form with many controls on it.

Essentially:

Form1
Panel1 - Docked top
Static

Panel2 - Docked Fill
TabControl - Docked Fill
Tab1
Static
CheckBox1
CheckBox2
CheckBox3
Tab2
PropertyGrid - Docked Fill
Tab3
Listbox - Docked Fill
Tab3
ToolStrip1 - Docked Top
SplitterContainter1 - Docked Fill
SplitterContainter1.panel1 - left side
TreeView1 - Docked Fill
SplitterContainter1.panel2 - right side
SplitterContainter2 - Docked Fill
SplitterContainter2.panel1 - top
Static
Static
Static
SplitterContainter2.panel2 - bottom
RichTextBox - Docked Fill

StatusStrip1 - Docked Bottom

When I load this with the IDE, there a slow flickering, and
intermittently, it sets ToolStrip1.Visible = false.
