Problem with datagrid column sizing after loading new data

Here's my issue. I load some data by into a datagrid when a movie clip loads. There are some combo boxes that can be used to trigger a call to a database to get new data. The data always has the same structure. For some reason any subsequent calls to load info into the datagrid causes the first column to blow up almost to the width of the datagrid. I have the DataGridColumn object expressly set to 120 wide in the actionscript. The content being loaded into that column is only a couple of words. So there's a lot of whitespace after the text. Are there any ideas as to what could cause this to happen? It always loads properly initially then all subsequent changes of the data cause the first column to blow up like this.

I think this solve your issue:

myDatasheet.ignoreWhite = true;

Or if it is a text box:

myTextbox.ignoreWhite = true;
