Indeed, very strange. I see this happen for the 1st time...

Though it is indeed very easy to describe dialogs in Lua, I prefer the
graphic interface - it's faster, it's harder to make an error, and it
also helps to avoid the manual (most control properties are
self-explanatory).

That's interesting, especially if it is written in Lua.

I'll post it after I move it to IUP 2.0.
