Bonjour Eric,

Unfortunately, the response to your first question is
negative : listBehaviour negates dontWrap.
If you know the number of lines and their sizes in
advance, you may get around this by making each line
an individual field, grouping those fields together,
and then turning on the group's vertical scrollbar.

However, this won't help you for your second question
either. I do have a stack on my website that scripts a
way to support drag-and-drop of list field elements ;

I'mp still hoping for a built-in solution in list
fields that we may turn on at some point in the
future, and praying for a full-blown table control
that would take care of optional drag-and-drop of its
elements. Maybe someday :-)
