The mysterious toolbox levitation

A

Al Camp

I've built a several Access 2003 applications, and something has me
stumped.
In form design mode, while working on a tab control, or the lower part of
any form, I grab a text control and drag it further up the page. The
toolbox, which I keep in the very lower right of the screen, follows the
dragged control upwards... as though it was attached by some invisible wire.
(cue the theromin here!)
It seemed, at first, to only occur when I've set the vertical scroll bar
partly downward, to work on the lower half of the form.
But, not so...I can literally grab the text control, drag it (with the
hand icon) under the toolbox, and use it to shove the toolbox up and down,
left and right... even when ToolBox AllowMoving is OFF.

No luck searching the NGs or web for "access 2003" "toolbox moves"
This occured when I had Access 2003 on my old system too...

What the hey is going on? Can't find a thing on this seeming "bug".
Thanks,
Al Camp
