I have been having a persistent issue that I have only just been able to reproduce with simple enough code to post. What I am finding is that check marks in list items do not show up if there was a dialog box immediately preceding them (I am running Mac OS and have not tested on Windows yet)
file = File.openDialog();
var w = new Window('dialog', undefined, undefined, {
resizeable: true
});
var myList = w.add ('listbox');
myList.preferredSize = [300, 400];
var item;
for (var i = 0; i < 200; i ++) {
item = myList.add('Item', i);
item.checked = true;
}
w.onResizing = w.onResize = function() {
this.layout.resize();
}
w.show ();
If I click in the list box, scroll or resize the window the items redraw and the check boxes all of a sudden appear!
If anybody can think of some ideas to fix this I would appreciate the help.

peter,
if you'll have a time and will be interested with this issue I think if you'll defined window as a palette then you'll get exactly the same behaviour on win, cant check it now but think it will works (not works 
)
btw. many thanks for your's scriptui publication...it giving a lot of light and saving lot of time. it was mine primary book as well as your's extendscript book for all my experiences in InDesign scripting.
Im stuck on this as well now 
Im never was a coder and just wanted to slicken my amount of work here and there, so I became a tiny bit able to puzzle code snippets together, alter strings, and sometimes even get a slick script afterwards. After Loic flashed out a sample helping me out nearly a year ago, im still not able to get the script done by myself, because its too good to understand with my little background.
The first versions were watching the onChange event and refreshed the window with getLinks after that, causing the script to be very slow on our 500+links-docs. So I bypassed this solution by adding a onDoubleClick to my listbox-items, which sets the checked-status. Everything fell in place, i was quite happy finally getting this finished…
But then I came to this:
The first screenshot shows the listbox, when I take my time and scroll it slow.
The next screenshots are the exact state, only difference I used the mousewheel to scroll down/up quickly, nothing unusual.
Were still on CC2018 because of our DAM(N)-Plugin, but I also tested this in current CC2019. While doing this I noticed an bug in CC18 (I cant use the mousewheel to get to the top, i always end up listitem[0] being not scrolled to, unless I use the scrollbar), but that one is gone in CC19.
With this window behaving so clunky, I cant roll out that script to my colleagues.
Has anyone any ideas to get this script on track and kind of usable?
Heres what Ive got so far, dont be mean – it doesnt win a beauty contest.
What you need to populate the list is an open document with ~10 images which are flipped. To make the list show something, you have to click on "Gespiegelte Bilder" (=Mirrored Images). If someone can fix that "Cumulus-Check" (radio1) is selected by default upon use with the list showing, would be great also.
