GridScreen Description Box Issue

I am seeing a weird issue with the Description Box on the grid screen. The situation I am seeing is that I have 2 rows one set up as landscape and one set up as portrait. The Grid style is set as mixed-aspect-ratio. The Grid Description box is set to display.

What appears to happen is that the first row (landscape) will show the description box. When moving to row 2 the focus takes a little longer to happen and the description does not appear. Moving back to row 1, that description box is now not visible either.

Just as a test I have changed both to be portrait or landscape and the description box is visible on both rows in each case. So it appears that this only happens when changing between the 2 row layout types.

Has anyone else experienced this behavior or have any workarounds etc.

Yeah, that seems to be a bug with the mixed-aspect-ratio version of the grid screen. The only workaround I've found is to call SetDescriptionVisible(True) in the isListItemFocused event.

Thanks. That works, not ideal but works until this gets fixed.
