We’re working on a broad update on a priority basis. We’re unable to communicate public date yet. If you need something immediately, you can contact us for hotfix. Just follow the regular process of opening a support case. Easier option would be to file online https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?&gprid=548&&st=1&wfxredirect=1&sd=gn or call support http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=fh;en-us;offerprophone.

Is there any more of a concrete time frame for the release of this correction? We are trying to determine whether or not we can wait for the release of the correction or if we need to correct the issue prior to.

We are planning to ship this fix in the upcoming update to .NET Framework 4.5 in the next couple of months. If you apply the suggested workaround, this workaround will be still valid after we ship the fix.

Thank you,

Thank you for your feedback. We are able to reproduce this issue and are considered fixing the issue in our next release.

To work around the issue you can try setting different explicit cell coordinates for each control. Something like that will behave determinstically and will not be a subject of undefined behavior:

            // Red Panel should be on the right.
            panel.Controls.Add(new Panel { BackColor = Color.Red, Dock = DockStyle.Fill }, 1, 0);

            // Green Panel should be on the left.
            panel.Controls.Add(new Panel { BackColor = Color.Green, Dock = DockStyle.Fill }, 0, 0);

Many customers have found it useful to discuss issues like this in the forums (http://www.microsoft.com/communities/forums/default.mspx) where Microsoft and other members of the community can suggest workarounds. Please keep the feedback coming.

Thanks,
The Windows Forms Team

As a workaround, avoid placing controls into the same cell in your TableLayoutPanel. Additional advantage to this approach is a performance improvement when the form(or control) is loaded.
