If a Form/Panel is opened in the GUI workspace prior to being checked out from VSS the Form stays readonly after the VSS checkout even though the checkout was successful. If the form has not been opened in the GUI workspace prior to checkout then doing the VSS checkout results in an editable form. Closing all open forms and switching workspaces does not help the IDE must be restarted to get the correct state on the form. I have seen this behaviour in previous versions back to when GenericVCS was first introduced.
You're right. The form module should check whether the state of the file changed before an attempt to be modified. Similar as the Editor does it. Passing to form module.
