Sounds like maybe a missing Refresh(). Does calling it after
SetColumnWidth help?
No. And a liberal scattering of Refresh()s in other places
(particular immediately after the contents of the list have been
changed) makes no difference either. Which is odd, because the
simplified version I've cooked up which shows similar behaviour
*does* sort itself out on calling Refresh() on the list.
