VW7.7.1 Font size differences in List widget between highlight and checkmark

I'm sure not many do this, but I use two list widgets juxtapositioned next to each other get both single select and multiselect functionality. In VW7.7.1 I find that the lists do not line up correctly even when the same font style is used in both lists. I believe the vertical distance occupied by each line in the lists is different depending on whether checkmark or highlight multi-selection is enabled. This causes misalignment as shown in here: Is there a way to force the lines in a list to be the same vertical size independent of checkmark or highlight multi-selection choice? Thanks.

By the way, I should note that this occurs regardless of the font style selected and can be more pronounced on aix versus windows.  I have gotten very close to alignment on windows with one font, but then goes out of alignment when run on aix.

Thanks.

You might try grabbing the #lineGrid from both lists, and then setting them both to the larger of the two.

Thanks Randy.

Yes, that is the right method to use and works fine.  Just to make the solution a a little more complete for those who follow, here's an example of what I did since I know the checkmark list is always a little bigger:
       
(self builder componentAt: #sitesScrolledList) widget lineGrid: (self builder componentAt:#multiSitesScrolledList) widget lineGrid.

where the #multiSitesScrolledList is the larger lineGrid.
