FIX. RadForm - application stopped working on Windows Vista Ultimate due to invalid rectangle of the form
To reproduce: add a RadForm and start the application.

Workaround:
public partial class Form1 : RadForm
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        
    }

    protected override void OnLoad(Size desiredSize)
    {
        this.ElementTree.InitializeRootElement();
        this.RootElement.ApplyShapeToControl = false;
        base.OnLoad(desiredSize);
    }

    protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnLoad(e);
        this.RootElement.ApplyShapeToControl = true;
    }
}

Hello,

This behavior was originally reported more than ten years ago, and we haven’t noticed significant demand or follow-up from the community since then. Moreover, Windows Vista Ultimate is no longer supported by Microsoft. As a result, we currently plan to prioritize improvements that have a broader impact and are more widely requested.

I marked this thread as "Declined". If this limitation is still affecting your scenario, please share additional context or use cases. 

Regards,

I am having this problem too. I was tasked with updating an old enterprise application because it was hanging on windows 10 and would eventually crash. I found it was do to this line in the design.cs files this.RootElement.ApplyShapeToControl = true;

if I comment out the line in the design file it will work however, you can not make any changes to the form or it is overridden(and rightly so).
