- Wow, and I though I was just doing something stupid. I encountered
- this condensing "feature" recently, and I haven't been able to the
- goddamn thing off. (No using a monospace font does not work).
- As far as I can tell, this condensing only occurs when
- you use Lists in a Modal Dialog (leading me to suspect that this
- is some hack introduced to aid in displaying long file names
- in the StdFileDlog, or something like that).
-
- The reason I want it off is that I'm displaying columnar data in a
- List, and when ListMgr condenses it, it throws off alignment with
- column headers (Yeah, I know I can put the data into individual
- cells, but its not worth the effort in this situation).
-
- Does anyone out there know how to turn off this "feature"?
