Research direction
Start in the Schema Designer flow and reproduce the issue against SQL Server mssql 1.41.0 by creating a table with a varchar(100) column, then opening its edit dialog. Trace how the column definition is displayed; done means the dialog shows the varchar length for the affected column.
