User Control Property Defaults Question

I created a user control. It has a text box in it. Everything works
fine. However, when I place my control on a form, many of the
properties are already in bold. This is supposed to mean that
something other than the default was chosen for those properties. But
that is not correct. The properties are set to their "default" value.

Example of my code for one property:

<Browsable(True),
DefaultValue(System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.Fixe d3D),
Description("Indicates whether the EnhancedTextBox will have a
border.")_
Public Overloads Property BorderStyle() As
System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle
Get
Return TextBox1.BorderStyle
End Get
Set(ByVal value As System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle)
TextBox1.BorderStyle = value
End Set
End Property

I have my "DefaultValue" set for this property. And when I place a
new instance of this control on a form, the BorderStyle is Fixed3D,
but it shows in the Properties Window in bold. Why? And how do I fix
this? This property is also in the Designer code of the form I placed
the control on and it should not be. I thought that default values of
properties are not supposed to be in the Designer code.
