Controls disappear in run mode

ok - this is driving me mad. 

 

I've created a 'pop-up' dialogue which woks fine except for the fact that any control I add becomes invisible in run mode.  Everything looks and works fine in design mode but as soon as I switch to run mode the controls disappear - they still work i.e. I can click on them and their 'OnSelect' executes as expected but they're simply invisible (as opposed to Visible=false).

 

I've done all the obvious (to me) things such as bringing them to the front and setting Visible=true to no avail.  I tried duplicating the screen but nothing.

 

Has anyone encountered this behaviour before?

    Hi,

     

    Please make sure the controls are in the Form, or the Screen or Canvas

    The issue appears to have resolved itself.  After posting my question I determined that my issue was related to a specific area of the screen (approximately below and left of 645,369).  If I inserted a control outside of that area it would behave normally in design/run mode - if I moved it over to the 'Bermuda Triangle' area of the screen it would become invisible (but still functional) in run mode.  

     

    I have just returned to the app after a couple of meetings and now I cannot reproduce the behaviour.  I guess I'll chalk it up to either premature senility or just a glitch in the matrix.
