Hmmm.....PythonCard deliberately sets the size to (-1,-1) in propertyEditor.py if the component's size matches the call to GetBestSize() - under OSX GetBestSize() is not staying constant for the multicolumn list and keeps matching the new size....hence size always gets set to (-1,-1).

You can get the same result under Windows XP, if you resize the component to exactly (50,50), which is GetBestSize()'s calculation of the minimum size. 

I'll do some more investigation to see whether this is an OSX bug in GetBestSize().
