Referenced Canvasses and Boilerplate text in FORMS 4.5

Hi all,

I 've found something very interesting in FORMS v 4.5.6.3.3., in regards to referenced canvasses and boilerplate text.

Try referencing a canvas ( drag/drop ) from one form to another. Try putting some text in the referenced canvas. Close and repoen to find the text missing.

Called up the Worldwide support. They have reproduced this bug/feature.

I'm not 100% confident as to whether this is a bug. Could it be the fact that like any other referenced objects, you cannot make changes to refenced canvasses. The problem then is why does FORMS allow you to put in items/text in there. If this were a feature, there is a major hole in the object orientation in FORMS.

Can someone elucidate this for me!!

TIA
