MDI child forms acting strange?

I'm using .NET 2.0. I have an MDI app. When I create the first child
form, it appears in the upper left part of the MDI parent. The MDI
parent is larger than the child. I have the child set to maximize but
it doesn't. When I click the maximize box (displayed on the MDI
parent's toolbar for the child), the child still does not maximize. It
moves close to the center of the parent instead and comes into full
view. I can't ever maximize this initial child. The second child and
on will maximize on creation however and also start as maximized, which
they should.

Any suggestions on what is causing this?

Thanks,
Brett

issue with MDI.
