Thanks for that suggestion, Tim. As it turns out, earlier this afternoon, I
grouped the controls from each PagePanel page into their own Container
Control, so that each PagePanel page now only has one Container Control
assigned to it. This way if the controls ever scramble again, all I have to
do to fix it is drag each Container Control off the Page Panel (onto the
Pasteboard) and then drag them back on the PagePanel to auto-reassign the
correct parent-child relationship. It will save me a TON of time in the
future, since I'll no longer have to fix dozens of controls individually,
but now only manage 3 Container Controls with the 3-page PagePanel. I
tested it by resizing the window in the IDE to force the control scramble
bug to occur, and then easily re-assigned the Container Controls to the
PagePanel to fix it, and it worked beautifully. :-)
