Option Button in a Datagrid

[Peter Haworth]

Hi Glen,
I don't recall seeing that behavior but it's been quite a while since I was
working on this issue.  In fact, I came across it when working on my
SQLiteAdmin program which I believe you have.  You might want to check out
how it behaves.

Go to the Browse screen, select a table, then select New Filter from the
filter menu.  In the lower of the two datagrids, there is a column named
"Operator" with an option menu in it.  Play around with that and let me
know if it behaves in the same way as your datagrid column.  If it doesn't
show the problem you're having, I'll take a look at the code and see if I
can spot anything.
