It paints the headers. And the problem comes about because in 
LISTVIEW_Paint, a test is made for the first paint, and if it is the 
first paint, the item size is updated.

if (infoPtr->bFirstPaint)
     {
    UINT uView =  infoPtr->dwStyle & LVS_TYPEMASK;
    
    infoPtr->bFirstPaint = FALSE;
    LISTVIEW_UpdateItemSize(infoPtr);

It has nothing to do with LVM_SETITEMCOUNT that I know, or am I missing 
something? This bug is not related to the other bug.
