Sorry for the long delay getting back to you, but I return with
* news that this is a bug of tabfolders in general, not limited to nested
tabfolders as I previously thought.
* sample code.
Hope this proves useful and that a work-around can be found!!!!
Many thanks for your attention,

To trigger the bug
=============
Make the attached code and you'll be presented with a dialog containing two
tabfolders.
"Folder1" contains a button. "Folder2" contains nothing.
Press on the button and a new form is displayed unberneath it containing a
browser.
Press on the button again and the browser form is hidden.
All well and good. To trigger the bug:
Move the dialog with "Folder1" visible and the browser form hidden. Now press
the button to display the browser. It is displayed, but it's position has not
been updated. Ie, it no longer appears under the button.
This occurs because the x,y variables of Folder1's form was not updated when
the window was moved.
Clicking on Folder2 and the then returning to Folder1 DOES update these
variables and all is Ok till the next move.
