Yes, and that's the expected behavior. You should NOT be putting controls in the client area of the MDI Parent form.

MDIChild forms are rendered inside a control on the MDIParent form. This control is called the MDIClient and it takes up the entire MDIParent form except for the area taken on by menu, tool and status bars.

Since you dropped a DGV control on the MDIParent, it's sitting immediately above the MDIClient control and covering it up.

You probably should not be using an MDI layout for for application. It's probably the 2nd most abused "feature" of Windows Forms, right after the PictureBox control, meaning you probably should not be using MDI.
