I have an MDI Child dialog with a ribbon bar and a System button. If I call EnableFrameTheme() on the ribbon bar, then the system button is cut off whenever the window is maximized. See the images below (normal & maximized):

This is very simple to reproduce. The child window's Form_Load looks like this:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim rb As RibbonBar

    Set rb = cbMain.AddRibbonBar("Title")
    rb.AddSystemButton

    rb.EnableFrameTheme
End Sub

The MDIForm simply brings up the child window.

This was not a problem using version 10.4.1, but it's now blocking our upgrade to 12.0.0.

I've attached a ZIP file containing the (very simple) sample application.

Thank you for responding. Unfortunately, not calling rb.EnableFrameTheme is not a reasonable work-around for us.

Please consider fixing this - we're looking forward to using many of the newer features, but cannot upgrade until this bug is taken care of.
