Graeme, Does someone else have access to your account? Because the questions you're asking are trivial to answer.
TEdit is a windowed control and as such its rectangular clipping path is controlled by the Z-order of its siblings. TImage is a graphic control and as such its rectangular clipping path is controlled by the Z-order of its parent window. If you case, the image, edit, and status bar all have the same parent window, thus the image will always be clipped by the edit and status bar.
