I think it is because you are trying to lay out a form that is similar in size to the size of your screen and so the designer window needs to be larger than the screen and is being truncated because it is a fixed size window. I get the same effect as you on my XP laptop and netbook with a form close to the size of the screen. However they both have an Intel display driver that supports virtual screens larger that the native screen size. If I increase the virtual screen size the problem goes away unless I again try to use a form nearly the size of the virtual screen.

I didn't say that you could. Your system display driver may not support it. I quoted it to prove that the effect was because the size of the Basic4ppc form approached the size of the display.
