form jumping

I have a maximised form with a button on it that opens another form. The second form is also maximised.
When I close the second form the first form 'jumps' .

The forms have no toolbars but do have a menu bar (one which I created).

It looks like when the form gets the focust it refreshed the form without a menu bar so the form is positioned at the top of the screen. Then it puts the menu bar on and pushes the form down below the menu bar. This giving a jump affect on the screen.

Is there any way around this or is this a 'feature' when having customised menu bars?

What do you mean by jumping????????

The form is repositioning itself on the screen.

As I close the second form the first form moves up to the top of the screen (just below the application title) then the menu bar appears and the form moves down to below the menu bar.

I can't answer, but: I think he means that when the form receives focus, it is painted WITHOUT the menu bar. Right after this, it is painted AGAIN, this time with the menu bar. So the contents of the form are shifted down.
