Form top bar lock up

I'm programming an application using VS C++.NET 2005 Express in clr/pure
syntax. It is a Console application (which might be important here).

Everything works. I have buttons I can press and do their assigned function
and a TreeView I can navigate. I can minimize th form, bring the console to
the front, click on any part of the form body, and exit using the top right
'X'.

BUT, if I click on the form top bar, the form locks up, giving complete
control to the Console! I can now move the Console around as before, but the
form buttons and treeview don't react (or at least the form isn't painting
to show it). If I close the Console it closes the application. If I minimize
the Console I can't maximize it again via the tray version of the
application.

I've tried both form.ShowDialog() and Show(%form) methods of launching form.
Same thing happens. Not sure how long this has been going on, haven't really
tried to move the form till now! There may be some 'can't move the form'
flag I'm not aware of, but even if so, such a flag shouldn't cause the form
to lock up if its tried. This happen both in the IDE and as stand-alone
executions, and both debug and release.

Thanks in advance for responses!

For reasons unknown, the problem seems to have corrected itself. I can now
move the form around no problem. Wish I knew why it was doing what it did
when it wouldn't allow this...
