Pic1 = that's the present lookslike of the BeakPanel location

    Hello Robert,
    Thank you for the provided screenshots. I see the issue. As this behavior looks incorrect to me, I've passed this ticket to our developers for further research.
    As a workaround, calculate a necessary position and call the ShowBeakForm method with a parameter of the Point type:

    C#
    Point p = new Point(this.simpleButton1.Left, this.simpleButton1.Top + (this.simpleButton1.Height / 2)); this.flyoutPanel1.ShowBeakForm(this.PointToScreen(p));

    Attached is a small sample that illustrates this approach.

      Hello Sasha

      thanks for your information & the work-a-round. It helps out to view the BeakForm in the right place

      C#
      Point p = new Point(this.simpleButton1.Right + 1, this.simpleButton1.Top + (this.simpleButton1.Height / 2)); this.flyoutPanel1.ShowBeakForm(this.PointToScreen(p));

      I modify it a little, because the BeakForm is shown on the right side and the triangle is placed on the left Panel side :-)
