Since rc8, it seems that designmode is greyed out on one of my 157 forms. The one form is my main form which contains a tabpanel that displays other forms with other tabpanels and so on, with a custom controller that also uses a tabpanel that changes its index depending on what is currently displayed in the main form. I get no error messages, no little yellow triangle in the bottom left corner and everything appears to work fine other than not being able to go into designmode from this form. I can use the ‘Window’ menu to select another form and designmode becomes available. Doing so and switching back to the one problematic form does not bring designmode back. I saw this in the rc8 release note:
[fix]-designmode sometimes possible when used for module form
As far as I know I am not using any of Servoy’s module functionality. If I open my solution in rc7, I have designmode available on every form. Any ideas?

I have a form with a hidden tabpanel where only 1 specific form causes the design-mode to be disabled.
Changing back to other forms in that tabpanel doesn’t change things.
Switching to another form from the one with the tabpanel does re-enables the design-mode again.
So far I have found that my onLoad method has something to do with it.
I commented out all my code and replaced it with a simple application.beep() and the same thing happens.
But when I comment out all the code then design-mode stays active.
Steve can you reproduce this behavior with your solution?
When I visit many (but not all) of my forms, the Design icon becomes greyed out. Once it becomes greyed on one, it becomes greyed on all. From this point the only way I can enter Design mode is by closing the solution and reopening it.
I’ve opened backups dating back to February. Same thing, so it’s definitely in 2.2rc8.
