Strange Collection Editor Problem

[Kevin Marshall]

I am having problems with collection editor properties on my controls, the
problem seems to be that I can add items and set properties no problem but
often when removing an item or even clearing an items property value it
appears to work but it really does not work, I can see this by viewing the
HTML.

If I close the page and open it the old values show up in the collection
editor. the strangest thing is that half the time it all work as it should,
does anyone have a clue what could cause the problem?

I have included sample code showing what I am doing, the collectionitems in
the real controls have many more properties than the 2 in this sample.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
