Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------

Issue the following commands in the Command window and follow the instructions as
noted.

     CREATE CLASS redform OF newclass AS form
     * select the backcolor property and change the color to Red.

     SET CLASSLIB TO newclass
     CREATE CLASS redform2 OF newclass AS redform  && Add a label and save.

     CREATE FORM test
     * Add redform2 and create the FormSet by selecting the View Classes icon
     * on the toolbar, choose ADD, and select newclass. Save the form.

     MODIFY CLASS redform OF newclass  && Add a label and save.

     MODIFY FORM test
     * change the FontItalic property to .T. and save the form.

     MODIFY FORM test
     * note the FontItalic property for the Parent Class
     * label is back to the default of .F.

NOTE: This same behavior occurs with other font attributes when the class is
created visually.
