Check that the initial form size (as seen in the VS IDE) is smaller than
their display size. The geometry management doesn't seem to cope too well
if it is larger.

have a form with two panels. The right panel is set to (Top, Bottom, Left,
Right) and the left panel is set to (Top, Bottom, Left). So now what
happens is that anytime the for is resized, the left panel will stay the
same width but will adjust its height to the size of the window height. The
right panel will grow and shrink with the main window (including the width).
In the Right pane there is a user control that has a toolbar at the bottom.
The control's anchor is set to (Top, Bottom, Left, Right). So if the right
pane shrinks or increases in size, so will the user custom control. The
form is set to maximize on load. This behaviour is observed on all machines
that the form is running except one.

not the initial view. Initially the form shows the control and the toolbar
on the bottom. But on this machine the toolbar doesnt show up. It looks as
though the user control's height was expanded so as to hide the toolbar.
And as I resize the form, the behaviour kicks in, and the panels grow and
shrink accordingly.
