Whenever I create a UI with XWT and embed it in another UI, the embedded UI is duplicated in the application.

For example, I have a xwt UI call CashForm ( I am using Instantiation's/Google Designer to create the UI and using the Forms API). I now create a xwt  Forms  application and embed the CashForm it. Runing the application displays two CashForms UI!  

This consistently occurs whenever the process is repeated with different UI forms.

I contacted support at Google/Instantiation and the following is there response

"It seems that XWT first creates the CashForm Composite and then renders its XWT file one more time. You should contact the XWT authors and suggest that they should not do this. I don't see any problem when I drop a CashForm Composite on a normal Java SWT application, so this appears to be an XWT rendering bug."

Hence now I am contacting you.

Please see the relevant attachements/

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.import *.forms.* plugins from e4 and swt
2.Create an xwt Form composite
3.Create a xwt JFace forms application.
4.Add 2. to 3
5.Execute 4.
6. observe the result for the duplicated embedded UI
7.OR DROP THE resource below in the same package with the appropriate names:
