I don't typically need properties with long String values, but it's a requirement for the Power Table's `.defaultColumnView`

**Behavior**  
When a long string property is entered somewhere in the Vision Property Editor, boxes appear around all String properties. Does not go back to normal until the designer is restarted.

**Expected Behavior**  
No boxes

**Steps to Replicate**  
-Create a Power Table and paste this dataset into its data property:

> #NAMES  
> this,dataset,will,make,things,weird  
> #TYPES  
> I,I,I,I,I,I  
> #ROWS,1  
> 0,0,0,0,0,0

-Toggle preview mode in the Designer.

**Other Info**  
The Power Table's Column Sizing property is automatically updated with a long String value, which causes the problem.

This problem is similar to the bug described here, but a long String property wasn't mentioned, so possibly a different problem.
