MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Create a form and place a list box or combo box on it.
Change the ScaleMode of the form to 0-Foxels.
Click on the list box or combo box, and change the ColumnCount to 3.
Change the Columnwidths to 1,10,15 and move off the ColumnWidths property item in the Property sheet. Note that the ColumnWidths values revert to 1,1,1 as soon you move off the ColumnWidths property. All the values in the ColumnWidths property revert to the first numeric value in the list. For instance, 15,20,25 would become 15,15,15 after moving off the ColumnWidths property.
