VS changes the size of Form

Al
I have many forms in VB2005 project. Most of them are going to be children
forms of MDI. MDI contains a List Bar (Infragistics Explorer bar), Status
Strip, Menu Strip. Empty space will be occupied by one of the Children forms
at run time. I created all required for a project Children forms and set
their sizes to 900X660. It's exactly the size of an empty area. Although I
set docking of children to Fill, I wouldn't want the sizes (900X660) to be
changed. I'm testing my application with different Windows Themes -
WindowsXP and Windows Classic. Each time I switch my desktop to WindowsXP
theme, Visual Studio itself decreases the sizes by 2, i.e. it makes all
forms sizes 898X658, then 896X656 and so on, each time smaller and smaller.
When I switch back to Windows Classic it doesn't increase the size.
What is this? Bug in VS?
It's annoing to restore sizes to ttheir original values.
