SelectedIndex behavior on multiple CBOs bound to the same datasour

I searched and couldn't seem to find an explanation for this behavior, so I'm
hoping someone here can explain it to me:

I have a form with two combo boxes (set up as drop down lists) that display
employee names, the first (cboA) is for the person that submits a request for
supplies and the other (cboB) for the name of the person who fills the order.

I've bound those two controls to one dataset containing a table with
employee names, IDs, and other info.

When I change cboA.SelectedIndex to a value, then change cboB.SelectedIndex
to another value, I find that cboA.SelectedIndex now equals
cboB.SelectedIndex.

If I create two DataViews (of the same DataSet) and bind one to cboA and the
other to cboB I can change the SelectedIndex properties without any problems.

Is this behavior expected? Or am I unclear on the proper use of the
DataSource property?
