.net – Odd ComboBox behavior on resize

I have an issue where a ComboBox control will change it's Text value when it is resized. Here is some sample code that I worked up:

Option Explicit On  
Option Strict On

Public Class FMain  
    Private Sub FMain_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load  
        uxComboBox.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDown  
        uxComboBox.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.ListItems  
        uxComboBox.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.Suggest  

        ComboTest()  
    End Sub  

    Private Sub ComboTest()  
        Dim value As String = "6"  

        uxComboBox.Text = String.Empty  
        uxComboBox.Items.Clear()  

        uxComboBox.Items.AddRange(New String() {"4 9/16", "6 9/16", "7 9/16", "8 9/16"})  

        Dim index As Integer = uxComboBox.FindStringExact(value)  
        If uxComboBox.SelectedIndex  index Then  
            uxComboBox.SelectedIndex = index  
        End If  

        If uxComboBox.SelectedIndex = -1 AndAlso _
           Not String.Equals(uxComboBox.Text, value, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) Then  
            uxComboBox.Text = value  
        End If  

        ' unselect the text in the combobox  
        '  
        uxComboBox.Select(0, 0)  
    End Sub  
End Class  

Note that this form (FMain) has a single combobox on it (uxComboBox) that is docked to the top. When I run the code I see that the combobox has a value of "6" which is what I would expect. When I then resize the form, the combobox gets a value of "6 9/16" which is what I would NOT expect.

Does anyone know why this happens? Any suggested workarounds?

Thanks!
