It does this if the underlying grid's ListboxStyle property is set to
True. It stretches the width of the rightmost column, so that you don't
see empty space at the right-hand side of the grid in a regular TIB_Grid or
in "Listbox" style controls that use the TIB_Grid.

Since this property isn't available to the TIB_LookupCombo, I guess it
defaults to True for this control's grid, which would make sense.
