TStringGrid moves selected cell to left, I can't get back

I've run into something weird with a TStringGrid, so I thought I'd see
if anybody had come across this before. I've got two columns.
Initially when the program runs, it looks like this:

When running, when I click on a cell in the second column to edit its
text, the selected cell becomes the left-most cell, like this.

After that, I can never get back to where I can see both columns. I
have scroll bars turned to always be visible, but I still can't scroll
left after I get in this state.

The properties which might be applicable of my TStringGrid are:

Align: alLeft
AutoFillColumns: true
AutoAdvance: aaNone
Columns: 2 items
FixedCols: 0
FixedRows: 1
Options:
  true: goFixedVertLine, goFixedHorzLine, goVertLine, goHorzLine,
goColSizing, goEditing, goRowSelect, goAlwaysShowEditor,
goSmoothScroll, goScrollKeepVisible
  false : everything else
ScrollBars: ssBoth
VisibleColCount: 2

Any ideas? Thanks!

I think you have to use a trick to circumvent this behaviour. Make the
width of your string just a few pixel bigger then the sum of the width
of the columns and the border of your stringgrid.
