Introduction
New: This patch fixes most plugins that were broken in Update 34 (15-Nov-2022).
This patch is needed for many plugins (TitanBar, SortPack, HugeBag, ...) that were last updated before Update 21.2 (10-Oct-2017).
(In that update, Standing Stone Games changed the ListBox control, in a way that is not backward-compatible.)
In general, if you're using a plugin that hasn't been updated recently, and it's trying to show a list of items, but only the first one is appearing, you probably need this.
For plugins that
have been updated recently, this patch probably is not needed, but it is harmless.

Revision History
(15-Nov-2022): I have renamed this patch (which used to be called “ListBox Patch”) to reflect that it addresses multiple backward-compatibility issues. Update 34 reintroduces the
same problem that was introduced in Update 22 and subsequently fixed.
Version 1.2 (6-Feb-2018): This fixes a problem introduced in Update 22 that breaks many plugins that have Russian language support. If you're seeing Russian words where you would expect English, then you probably need this.
Version 1.1 (12-Oct-2017): This version is "quiet". It won't display the "Patching ListBox control" message every time a plugin is loaded. Players who use plugins such as PartyFrame or RaidHealz will find this necessary to prevent being constantly spammed.
