TGradient CopyPatternTo Bug

Hi,
I been playing around with the TGradient Component so far I like it but I found a problem using the CopyPatternTo procedure. This procedure won't fill the whole bitmap with some of the styles.
This is my code, MyBitmap is a TImage Component:

Begin
Mybitmap.Stretch := false
Gradient1.Style := gsLinearV;
Gradient1.CopyPatternTo(Mybitmap.Picture.Bitmap);
end;

The problem only happen with the styles gsLinearV, gsReflectedH, gsReflectedV, gsDiagonalLF

Tank's for any help.

BTW: I could use the Stretch property of the TImage Component but I have to copy the Bitmap to another component.

This is not a bug.

The pattern size depends to the selected gradient style. For example, gsLinearV has a 1x256 bitmap pattern, and gsReflectedV has a 1x512 bitmap pattern.

By the way, to see the whole pattern, be sure the Image control has Transparent property as False, and one of Stretch, Propertional or AutoSize properties as True.
