Text Box Columns - Design View vs. Browser Display

Inside a layout grid, I am able to insert a text box with many lines of text. In the text box properties I can also set the number of columns and the gap between columns. All of this works great when displayed in a browser BUT - the columns do not display in web layout or design layout while I'm building the page? Is am missing something? Is there a method to have the columns that are set actually display while working on the page?

Due to limitations of Windows text editor (richedit) it's not possible to display columns in the workspace.

Note that when you disable Direct2d rich text rendering (Tools -> Options -> User Interface) then it will work.
