IMHO this is a bit of a cheap shot. Let him who has never missed a
layout bug cast the first stone.

I diff everything I check in to StarTeam and can easily imagine making
such a mistake. Because of Delphi's tendency to move controls on the
form slightly when they are opened (depending upon your screen
resolution, font size, phase of the moon, etc.) I am accustomed to
seeing minor differences in positions when I diff a DFM. When I change
only a PAS file, that's all I check in. But if I add a new event
handler, I *have* to check in the DFM as well. And though I try to
catch mistakes, anyone who has diffed enough DFM versions will know
that it's a bit of a mind-numbing process.

It is certainly not fair to presume that someone who has made a
mistake has not been actively looking for them.
