interesting, I had the same thing happen on my modeless form. I'll try that.

If that form is opened as a modal dialog, it works as expected, and oddly enough, the modeless works when in debug mode (e.g., run debugger in VS2005 which starts up ACAD), the problem doesn't occur, even for modeless forms.
