Hello,
.NET 1.1 SP1 contains a nasty bug (.NET 2.0 beta as well) which makes
nested groupbox controls to show a corrupted caption text (in bold,
which is chopped off) if the windows forms application is run on a
themed XP system (i.e.: with windows themes turned on) and flatstyle is
set to System (to enable visual styles).
This affects all applications written for .NET and which use windows
forms and nested groupbox controls, applications which used to work
perfectly on .NET 1.1 but are now showing corrupted caption.
See for a screenshot:

See for a repro case:

As the bug is pretty severe, and requires ISV's to change their
applications to make them work on .NET 1.1 SP1 while there is nothing
wrong with their code, I'd like to ask Microsoft to fix this a.s.a.p.
I tried to contact PSS / online support but apparently I have to pay (!)
for sending this information to MS, so I try to get your attention
through the newsgroups.
Please fix. Thanks.
Frans.
