[lazarus] Form's TOP and LEFT

[Shane Miller]

Has anyone determined why these are coming out incorrectly sometimes?

When you drop controls on the form, after a few controls the form's top and
left are being reported incorrectly.  Ifd you move the form they are
correted again.

Anyone look at this?
