• An AV occurs at design time when using the Customization Form to add, remove, or change a bar item on an ancestor form.
• Bar items are painted with colors that do not match corresponding theme colors of an operating system and disabled bar items cannot be selected if the bar manager's LookAndFeel.NativeStyle property is True.
• Changing a bar item's hint caption in the hint style controller's OnShowHintEx event handler has no effect if the bar item's hint is invoked immediately after another TControl descendant's hint.
• Ribbon tab groups inherited from a parent form become invisible at runtime if the corresponding ribbon tab's Groups collection is changed.
