Problem with the formattedWidth

While testing out the solution for right justifying a column in a table (in
another thread), I've come across a problem with the formattedWidth of a
field

It appears that the formattedwidth doesn't always get updated when a new
value is entered into a field.  I typed something into a field, then used
the message box to get its formatted width.  Then typed a shorter string of
characters into the field, got the formattedwidth again, and it was the
same as for the previous text value in the field.  I haven't 100% verified
yet, but it appears that if the new string is longer than the previous
string, then the formatted width is reported correctly but if the new
string is shorter than the old string, it is reported incorrectly.

This is with LC 5.5.0.  Anyone else seeing this?
