hole callouts on sheetmetal drawings

hole callouts on sheetmetal drawings

(OP)
Just came across something really bizarre.  Using SW2008 SP3.0.  I sometimes edit the hole callout text in drawings (not the value itself, just adding/removing text).  Solidworks is not letting me edit the hole callouts at all.  It pops up the standard warning message about breaking the link with the model, but even if i say "yes", it doesn't work.  I can type in the property box but nothing changes in the callout.  And this only seems to be a problem on sheetmetal parts.  I tried some regular solid parts and i can edit their hole callouts fine.  Anyone with similar experience?
