How do you change the scrollbar size in the listbox control

I have what appears to be abug with the vertical scrollbar on the listbox control.  I am trying to make the verticle scrollbar wider (so it is easier to press with your finger on a touch panel).  I open the control in "customize control," change the scrollbar, and apply changes.  The scrollbar is wider and it works in my original VI.  Now I close LabVIEW and open it again.  The scrollbar is back to it's original width.  I have also tried saving it as a strict type def and the same thing happens.  How do I get the scrollbar to stop shrinking back to it's original width everytime I reopen the VI.  I need it to stay the same width for an executable as well.
 
Thanks,

I can confirm that its doing the same thing for me - Windows XP SP2, LV8.2.1

Interestingly, with LV7.1 you can't even increase the size of the scroll bar temporarily - so maybe the question is which is the bug. That it isn't saving the changes, or that it lets you think you are making changes...

I have the same problem.  Has anyone found a work around?  Must be a bug.  See attached screen shots for before, and after restart.

Confirmed in LV 8.5.  For now, the only workwround I can think of is to use your own scrollbar and use events to change the top left diaplyed cell.

Hello All,

Thank you for bringing this to National Instruments' attention. I have reported this as a Corrective Action Request to R&D, whereupon they can review this behavior and look towards eliminating it in future releases of LabVIEW. We are happy to find there are customers out there who can help us make LabVIEW an even better product.
For your reference, the CAR ID # is 4F8BBE26.

Again, thank you for your feedback.
Cheers,
Emilie K. | Applications Engineer | National Instruments
