toolStrip container loses dropdownitems collection

[Shaun B]

This is a continued problem from that previous poshtools pro support site, that didn't get carried over.

I can create the first layer of items in a toolstrip container. But when i add subsequent dropdownitems, either by the items collection editor, or through the designer menu manual adds, when i save the project and close and reopen VS, the subsequent items are no longer included in the dropdownitems collection. All events assigned are still there.

I can view the .designer.ps1 file and see the items that i added, including their addition to the form at the bottom, but they don't have the $variable.DropDownItems.AddRange([System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem[]]@($subVariable)) added to them.

If i manually edit the .designer.ps1 file (i know, sorry), they sometimes show up for a little bit, but then randomly disappear again. When doing this, they don't show up in the designer form view, only in the edit collection items window.

Correction, editing the designer.ps1 directly doesn't let me add event or collection items.
