Summary:
When the "Align to grid" option is on, Visual Basic's list box and
file list box controls may not assume the correct minimum height when
you draw them shorter than two grid lines at design time. This can
result in a list box or file list box control that appears only 2
pixels (30 twips) high at design time. Visual Basic automatically
resizes other controls to the minimum height if they were drawn too
short.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Microsoft Visual
Basic programming system version 1.0 for Windows. We are researching
this problem and will post new information here as it becomes
available.
The problem is not serious, because simply running the program causes
the control to correctly resize to the default minimum height.

Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
1. Start Microsoft Visual Basic. From the Edit menu, choose Grid
Settings and activate (check) the "Align to grid" option.
2. Click on the list box control, or file list box control, in
the Toolbox.
3. Click on Form1 and drag the mouse across the form horizontally
without moving the mouse vertically.
4. Release the mouse button, and the control will fail to be resized
to the default minimum height (two grid lines). The control may be as
small as 2 pixels (30 twips) high.
Note that running the program causes the control to correctly resize
to the default minimum height (two grid lines).
