MarkupGrid fixedLayout true "Ghosts" Cells

Hi everyone!,  I have a trouble with MarkupGrid fixedlayout, this is a example project where I reproduce the problem. The purpose of the project is to show a grid with two rows with 5 items each. This works if you have numColumns=5 (property value assigned on SimpleMarkupListScene.brs ln 16) . If I set numColumns=4, I expect that the last column will hide and I can scroll horizontally to it (I'm wrong?, this happens if I add multiple items on one row, just one row) but I got errors about cells already occupied. I added some comments on the code about the issues.

Let me know what you think, Thanks!

SimpleMarkupListScene.brs
function init()
    m.simpleMarkupGrid = m.top.findNode("SimpleMarkupGrid")
    m.simpleMarkupGrid.content = getGridData()
    m.simpleMarkupGrid.SetFocus(true)
end function

function onKeyEvent(key as String, press as Boolean) as Boolean
    handled = false
    return handled
end function

function getGridData() as object

    data = CreateObject("roSGNode", "ContentNode")

    m.simpleMarkupGrid.numColumns = 5
    
    'if we have rows = 1, items = 10 and numColumns = 5 we can scroll horizontally
    'if we have rows = 2, items = 5 and numColumns = 4 we have "cell was already occupied" errors
    'if we have rows = 2, items = 5 and numColumns = 5 we can see a 2x5 grid    
    
    rows = 2
    items = 5

    for i=0 to rows-1
        for j=0 to items -1
            dataItem = data.CreateChild("ItemData")
            dataItem.text = stri(j) + "," + stri(i)
            dataItem.X = j
            dataItem.Y = i
            dataItem.W = 1
            dataItem.H = 1
        end for
    end for

    ' I can't add an item on the row [0,1]  or [1,1], etc, because there is a "cell" already there if the numColumns is 4, Why is this?
'    ------ Running dev 'Simple MarkupList' main ------
'    ** Error - ArrayGrid: Fixed Layout cell was already occupied
'        cell 4, current item: 4, new item: 5
'        Row (Y): 1 Column (X): 0 Width (W):1 Height (H): 1

    return data
end function
