 No. You would need similar fixes for all column options as well. The
 dialog should IMHO not be updated when showing properties because the user
 did not update anything. IOW, the dialog and its options should only be
 updated when they are really updated (changed by the user). Thus my
 show/hide suggestion, which is already used for other dialogs.
