It might be the converter that does this...
It made a new lfm file from the dfm that Delphi had made and maybe it did not
transfer the button kind properly so that the modalresult was not set as it
would be when the kind was selected...

Anyway by going over the forms and changing ModalResult to the proper value
depending on the Kind property value made it work as expected. No OnClick event
handler needed.

Now working properly.
