Greetings I'm running IDL 4.0.1 under Windows95, and List Widgets are driving me crazy. Specifically, they tend to resize themselves (horizontally) after every two or threeevents (clicks or cursor up/down). This means that every other element in the base widget shuffles around to a new position. Then after another few list events, the list widget resizes to approximately the original size, and everything moves again. This may seem like a minor point, but after you've scrolled through several hundred list items, it becomes incredibly irritating. I'm creating the widget with the following command mdv.recordlistID= WIDGET_LIST(w1,UVALUE='RecordList', $ YSIZE=10,XSIZE=16,FONT='SYSTEM',/FRAME) where the FONT='System' is necessary to get a fixed width font. I've tried everything I can think of, so all suggestions are welcome. BTW, I have tried leaving out the XSIZE=16, but that doesn't help. Brian Jackel
