MDI child XtraForm loses Close button

created 15 years ago

After updating to version 9.3.2, MDI Child windows will lose their Close button if maximized and then returned to normal.
I am using Skinned Xtraforms (not sure it that matters).
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a Windows Forms app, make the main window an MDI Container.
Add a menu item that open another form as an MDI child window - > XtraForm.
Run the app.
- Open the child form -> the close button will be in the upper right corner.
- Maximize the child -> the buttons move to the master as a second row (as they should)
- Return the child to normal size -> The Close button (and minimize / maximize buttons) are gone!
Actual Results:
The Close / Maximize / Minimize buttons disappear after an MDI child is returned to normal size.
Expected Results:
Buttons should always exist on MDI Children when normally sized.

    Hello Tom,
    Thank you for your report. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the problem using the steps you've described. It appears that I've missed something, or misunderstood you. Could you please check the attached project, and modify it to demonstrate the problem? Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Uriah.

      One detail different - My main form is a DevX Ribbon Form. That may be important.
      Anyway, I have attached a sample application that exhibits the problem on both Vista and Windows 7.
      Thanks.
