Hi guys - is this just me or what?

On occasion (more so lately) every time I try and build a particular control
library, a few of the controls in the editor either move to the top left
corner (and loose any properties set) or they completely disappear! When
this does happen, on occasion I get an entry into the task list "member not
found". Other times, I keep getting the error "Duplicate declaration of
member location". This happens when I haven't even set the location of a
particular control programmatically.

This seems to happen at random intervals so I can't post exactly what it is
I'm doing to cause the error. It would seem you guys at microsoft can't
even make consistent bugs! I'm getting really annoyed with this as it's now
slowing up development as opposed to just being annoying so my apologies for
any sarcastic remarks. Is this on your fix list for the service pack? If
not, do you have Borland's number :)

Regards,

Chris
