Peculiar behaviour in SSMS 2005

  • Not really a major issue, but rather an annoying one:

    when I create a column in the Design window of a table and I type nvarchar(10) in the DataType column, the datatype automatically changes to nvarchar(50). After changing it back to nvarchar(10), it stays like that, so it only happens the first time.

    It even changes automatically when I copy-paste the value nvarchar(10) from another column.

    Is there a default setting that I'm missing somewhere or is it rather an unusual quirk of SSMS 2005?

  • Annoying, huh? Doesn't happens to me.
