DockStyle problem

I have a GUI which I design with VS.NET.
basically I have tabs and I put control at the top or bottom by setting
their Dock property to Top or Bottom.

then (after the InitializeComponent()) method I add some other widget in the
tabs, with the aim to fill the remaining space by setting their Dock
property to Fill

unfortunately the new control seems not to take the remaining space, but the
whole space of the Tab page !
(and are partially obscured by previously adde control)
is that really normal ?
how to fix that ?

Click to expand...

I am not able to repro that. Post your code.
 
I found a simple work around.
with the designer I had a panel with DockStyle.Fill, which behave correctly.
then I put my stuff inside this panel.

I have nonetheless the feeling it looks like a bug.
