Bug with Cluster having Combo box and string

[P@Anand]

To reproduce the bug please do the following.

• Create a Cluster containing a combo box and a string control.
• Enter some string selection values in the Combo box(Example: One, Two, Three)
• Make the cluster a type def and save it.
• Open a new VI and place the Cluster control which is saved.
• Right click the Cluster and select "Open Typedef" and re-order the cluster elements (If string was at index 0 make the Combo box index to 0 and vice versa)
• Go to File>Apply changes and save the control and close.

Now check the cluster, the string present in the combo box will be present in the String control.
I have LabVIEW 2013SP1 and I see this behaviour.

I've seen that before, i think it's the same with most any datatype if you change order? For some reason it keeps the data order when the data type order is changed. Annoying and dangerous.

I have seen this behaviour when I was handling a string control and an Instrument resource name. This is seems to be happening with data types similar to string.

Does it work if you add a numeric?

With Numeric it doesn't have any impact. Only with the data types similar to string (DAQ config, Resource, etc.,)

Yes, i was thinking if a numeric in the cluster had any effect on the reordering issue, like if you in your example add a numeric as last element and move it first.
