Issue description

My app has a (subclassed) DataGridView that adds a right-click context menu, allowing the user to add and remove columns. So the user can right-click a column and choose "Hide This Column", and that DataGridViewColumn will be hidden by setting Visible=false.

The bug occurs if I have dragged the rightmost column to be very wide (much wider than the grid itself) so that only that rightmost column can be seen within the grid's scrollable bounds. I then right-click and choose to hide that column. The act of setting the DataGridViewColumn's Visible property then unexpectedly throws NullReferenceException within Microsoft code:

System.NullReferenceException
  HResult=0x80004003
  Message=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
  Source=System.Windows.Forms
  StackTrace:

Steps to reproduce

See description above.

Note: I can reproduce this behaviour every time, in my large app, but I have not been able to reproduce it in a smaller test project. So please ask me if you need any further details about the state and properties at time of failure.
