The FXFileList widget that's shown in the tabbook.rb example is, by itself,
not a very "smart" widget; it just shows the contents of whatever directory
you set it to, but it doesn't know how to respond (for example) when you
double-click on one of the folders. So what you're seeing for the tabbook's
FXFileList is not a bug, that's just the limit of what a plain old
FXFileList widget can do. Other, "smarter", widgets can make use of
FXFileList as a building block. In particular, the FXFileSelector uses an
FXFileList but it knows to change directories when you double-click on one
of the folders.

The problem you're seeing with the table.rb example is a bug that's been
fixed in the CVS. I hope to get out a bug-fix release for FXRuby in the next
day or so.

You need to check out the 'release10' branch:

    cvs checkout -rrelease10 FXRuby

The main trunk is where I've started doing some things in preparation for
the development version of FOX (fox-1.1.x) but that's not usable yet.

For FOX, just get the latest fox-1.0.x release (currently fox-1.0.11, I
think). Do *not* try to compile FXRuby against the fox-1.1.x sources. As for
Ruby, just use one of the 1.6 or 1.7 releases -- it should work fine with
either.
