Listbox does not work on Windows 8 - bug submitted

The solution for using ListBox controls on Windows 8.1 is to use a container control, such as a Group (and presumably a Panel).  So the resource string and the code based equivalent shown below both work.  My colleague found this article that provided the clue

https://forums.adobe.com/thread/553949?tstart=0. Interestingly the ListBox without a container worked perfectly on Photoshop, maybe because UI elements are created and managed by the Flash Player according to the readme.

var res =

  "dialog {\

   properties:{ resizeable:true },\

   orientation:'column', spacing:2, margins:2,\

   listGrp: Group { orientation:'stack', alignment:['fill','fill'],\

   cmdsLb: ListBox {\

     properties:{numberOfColumns: 2, showHeaders:true, \

     columnTitles: ['Description', 'Shortcut'], columnWidths:[100,200]}\

   },\

   applyBtn: Button {\

   text:'Apply', alignment:['fill','bottom'] } } ,\

        }"; 

var win = new Window ("dialog", "Test ListBox", undefined, {resizeable:true, orientation:"column", spacing:2, margins:2});

win.listGrp = win.add("group", undefined, undefined);

win.listGrp.orientation = 'stack';

win.listGrp.alignment = ['fill','fill'];

win.listGrp.cmdsLb = win.listGrp.add("listbox", undefined, undefined, {numberOfColumns: 2, showHeaders: true, columnTitles: ['Description', 'Shortcut'], columnWidths: [100,200]});

win.listGrp.applyBtn = win.listGrp.add('button', undefined, 'Apply');

win.listGrp.applyBtn.alignment = ['fill','bottom'];

Hi Jang

Don´t put them inside a tabbed panel (or use a list box iniside a panel inside a tabbed panel). It seems that the problem is the tabbed panel, the rest of my list boxes are working well.

Hi Jang,

I'm working with lots of listboxes on Windows 8.1 (worked on W7 before and created my scripts there), but I never was faced with that problem.

Did you test this on just ONE PC?
