+Summary: TextBox.ForeColor behavior when ReadOnly is true
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Compile and run the following program on MS SWF.
+using System;
+using System.Drawing;
+using System.Windows.Forms;
+class TestForm : Form {
+    static void Main() {
+        Application.Run(new TestForm());
+    }
+    TextBox t = new TextBox();
+    public TestForm() {
+        t.ForeColor = Color.Red;
+        t.Text = "Test";
+        t.ReadOnly = true;
+        Controls.Add(t);
+    }
+    protected override void OnClick(EventArgs e) {
+        base.OnClick(e);
+        // This looks stupid. However, without this line, the following 
+would not work.
+        t.BackColor = t.BackColor;
+        t.ForeColor = Color.Red;
+    }
+}
+2. Notice how setting ForeColor (in the constructor) had no efect.
+3. Click in the text box so that the text is no longer selected.
+4. Click on the form.
+5. Notice that the color on the text did not change.
+6. Select the text and then deselect it to see the color change.
+
+Actual Results:
+ForeColor behaves as expected!
+
+Expected Results:
+ForeColor behaves in a completely unexpected way!
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always (on the SVN version).
+
+Additional Information:
+I'm not even sure if this should be fixed. This is probably another one of 
+those strange things in the Microsoft implementation caused by the fact 
+that many controls in SWF are just wrappers around existing Windows 
+controls. However, I imagine one would use such tricks in order to get the 
+desired effect on MS SWF and that application may perform useless changes 
+to ForeColor, BackColor, Invalidate, etc. Maybe this MWF behavior should 
+be documented if it is left as it is now.
