mdi maximized child mainmenu bug

[=?Utf-8?B?Sm9l?=]

Can anyone tell me if this is a confimed bug and if there is a workaround:

- Create an form set as an mdi container
- Add a Menustrip to mdi container and set form's MainMenuStrip property to
newly created menu
- Create mdi child form and set it's window state to Maximized

When you run the project and open the child form, the menus are merged
properly, but the form appears the same size as it does at design time
(rather than maximized) and the child form's maximize button appears to be in
the restore state.
Click to restore, and you're back to a correct state. click again and form
is maximized properly.

Any ideas?

I have a demo project built to demonstrate.
Thanks

Forgot to mention, after all this, if you set mdi parent form's MainMenuStrip
property back to (none), then child form maximizes correctly when opened.
Thanks

Your child form has no menu and or tool strips?. I tried , it seemed to work
ok. Can I have the demo project?
