Let me briefly explain what the code is trying to do. The list box has the "sorted" attribute checked, so when you add (say) y, then x, it sorts it into x and then y order. So it gets the "new position" from the listbox insertion, and uses *that* and not the original position for modifying things like the selected flag. It also stores the original position (under the "extra data" field) so that it can relate back the original position, when chosen, and not the position it eventually ends up in the list.

And all this works, or seems to, because list boxes work regardless of the order that you add things into them, as the screen shot shows.

But maybe under Wine, the number returned is prior to sorting, or something, which defeats the effort I have put in to resolve this issue.

Maybe presort the items? :\
At least it seems I can effectively work around this by using numeric indexes, since those are always sorted correctly directly out of Lua.

I shouldn't have to pre-sort things to work around what is increasingly looking like a problem in Wine. It looks like LuaJIT is triggering the problem by the way it is hashing things, but really the core problem is that the listbox is not functioning as documented, as evidenced by its correct behaviour under Windows.

It seems gmail is very aggressive about blocking zipped executables.

That reminds me of the people who call up call centers and complain that their computer told them they are doing something illegal.
