Yes, furthermore I have an app that doesn't display the horizontal listbox scrollbar at all so there is no access to any other column than the ones that are originally visible. Same code work fine with 5.5.1 (the version I am still using). Do you have a bug report reference I could add myself?

Aside from the plug-in issue recently posted, I can't
think of anything too major that can't be worked around in 5.5.3

I can teh fact that list boxheaders don't scroll horizontally with FC5 breakes all code that depends on it... and faking the headers to look right Xplatform is not trivial as well. as well as having to handle the prssed and non-pressed states and drawing the sort widget.

Sure all is doable (in theory your own listbox is doable...) ... but it's not quick to do it right... and it was OK in FC4 and broken in FC5. It should be an easy fix for RS... but a lot of trouble for us to deal with if they don't - if you use horizintal listbox scrolling with headers and sorting and column resizing...

Presumably not, as any changes would (I would think) require testing cycle. So, as stated in the fc5 release notes, 5.5.3fc5 would become 5.5.3 assuming no
show-stoppers.

Presumably a 5.5.4 could be released if absolutely necessary, but my guess is that both REAL Software, as well as the RB user community at large, are anxious to get 6.0 underway. Aside from the plug-in issue recently posted, I can't
think of anything too major that can't be worked around in 5.5.3.

Is the final version of RB 5.5.3 any different than 5.5.3fc5?

Thanks in advance,
