No change for 0.88.1 in my app. However I don't see the problem in fdesign.

On further investigation I find I don't see the problem in all forms of my
app; only the main form.

I wonder what's special about my main form? I call
fl_set_app_nomainform(true). I don't know if that's relevant.

Any suggestions as to what I should try?
