Good question. I think it should matter with forms, too. OTOH, forms are
typically bigger and this issue does not come up so often.
With panels it is irrelevant because the caption there is not useful. At
least I always make it empty and use other controls (Label) for texts. They
can be anchored etc.

With GroupBox this really matters. I have pumped into this problem many
times and I believe Lazarus IDE dialogs have captions cut for this
same reason.
