BUG: Data Report Not Always in WindowList

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create a new standard EXE project. Form1 is created by default.
2. Add an MDIFORM to the project.
3. Add a menu to the form, and check the WindowList property, as follows:

         Caption: View
         Name:  mnuView
   						

4. Add a Data Report to the project and then add a Data Environment. Set the Datasource property and the Datamember property. You don't have to drop any fields onto the report in order to see the problem.
5. Set the MDICHILD property to True on Form1 and DataReport1.
6. Add a CommandButton to Form1 and, in the Click event, show the DataReport (DataReport1.Show).
7. Run the application. If you select the View menu, Form1 shows up. Click the CommandButton and select the View menu again. Note that the DataReport is not listed in the WindowList.
   
   If you modify the Click event of the CommandButton to do the following, the DataReport appears in the WindowList as expected:

         Private Sub Command1_Click()
          DataReport1.Visible = False
          DataReport1.WindowState = vbMinimized
   
          DataReport1.WindowState = vbNormal
          DataReport1.Show
         End Sub
