In addition, sometimes the background for the form will go all black,
and that covers up everything aside from the front element. I see this
when I do expands/contracts with a form with a browser element, and with
a tab folder element. Resizing again takes care of this. Speed doesn't
seem to matter either, as it happens with fast resizes or small changes.
