I was messing around with the RichTextBox/RichTextToolbar and it was not obvious what the intended layout properties of the toolstip to the text box are. I tried just docking them to the top, but then one covers the other (depending on order they were added to the form). Either I can't see the toolstrip, or the first few lines of text in the text box are covered by the toolstrip. Is this normal?

Yes...that is just .NET.  In this case you would more than likely want to use a ToolStripContainer...it is just a standard .NET control.

OK, that's what I was figuring out, just wondered if I was missing something. Thanks!

Nope...it's just one of those things
