Unless the Listbox is hierarchical and on a TabPanel ....

Maybe using composite Windows is a workaround, at least for Mac OS X.
With this option turned on Listboxes scrolls ok horizontically.

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,
