Package: zenity
Version: 3.2.0-1
Severity: normal


The correct command for showing the problem is
zenity --list --column= --column= 1 2 3 --4
vs.
zenity --list --column= --column= 1 2 3 4

Using the "pipe" method inestead,

echo -e "1\n2\n3\n--4" | zenity --list --column= --column=

shows the expected result.
