I worked on trying to fix this annoying quirk but it is buried down
in the grid base class and I never could get it to behave properly.

At times I have been tempted to get rid of the base class and write
my own grid from scratch.

The grid code is a bit hairy but you might be able to figure it out
if you jump in under the hood. If you send me a private email
requesting this be worked on I will put it in my list of items to
take another crack at.
