>>>I have a grid which i set the HeaderHeight property to 40 and the Header Wordwrap property to true. It looks perfect at design time time but goes fubar at runtime. My first thought was that the grid was being destroyed somehow and reconstructing, but i keep disabusing my self of that notion. I don't seem to be able to work it out. Some light in the darkness would be greatly appreciated.

If .columnClass and .columnClasLib (or whatever the exact names may be) are set, the instance code may fire _after_ everything is instantiated, and the column class's .init() may fire even though it may be overridden in the instance or in the grid's code. These two heavily disturb the regular order of code when instantiating the columns (and probably same for pages), so yup, more tricks in the grids.
