Widget_List resizing problem [message #7276]

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.
