ToolStripButton text covers image

Hello, I am having a little trouble with ToolStripButton. (using vc#
2005 beta2).

On each button there is an image and text. The image is aligned to the
left of the button. The appearnce of the button is like a windows
taskbar button.


I have taken the liberty of creating an image that illustrates my
problem:

The buttons are of a fixed length (105 pixels). The problem is this:
When the button text is too wide to fit on the button, The text starts
to edge leftwards and overlap the image, this is a most undesirable
result.

The desired result is like windows taskbar button where the text is
simply clipped.

I have systematically gone through just about every setting that could
possibly be relevant. Before I embark on trying to custom draw the
button I thought I would post here and make sure I am not missing
anything obvious, thanks. Apologies if this is the incorrect news
group, I searched for a specifc visual csharp one and didn't find one.

(PS the 'TextImageRelation' is 'Image before text' not 'overlay'! ;)
and i've tried every other relation type also).
