Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
1. Create a form named Test.
2. Add a timer control to the Test form.
3. In the form's Init event, type:
thisform.width = 500
thisform.height = 500
thisform.fillstyle = 0
thisform.fillcolor = rgb(255,0,0)
thisform.box(0,0,thisform.width,thisform.height)
4. Save and run the form.
The form's Fillcolor property is set to a color other than the backcolor of the
form, and a box is drawn around the area that contains the timer. When you run
the form, a white rectangle appears where the timer is located.
