VS 2012 Express on Windows 7 Professional, this was pre SP1 install.

I have a windows form that I had several elements (Listboxes, buttons, text and labels), with some actions associated with changing indices on the list boxes and of course the button actions.

I decided I wanted to add a tab control to enable a second tab with a different feature set, so I copied/cut/pasted all of the original items to a tab control that I added. When I did this, all of the elements lost their click action in the events window. I had to go and re-associate all of them.

Is this a normal behavior/known issue, or is there some method to move controls that I am not aware of?
