It works OK for me. I think the problem is the way you are adding items 
to the list.

Note - this can be written ListCtrl.new(self, :style => LC_REPORT). You 
almost never need to use the clumsy 'DEFAULT_POSITION', 'DEFAULT_SIZE' 
etc. Use named arguments and these will be taken care of.

Your problem is here, I think. Each ListItem object represents a unique 
object in the list. The row it's in is identified by an attribute 'id'. 
However, you're adding the same object multiple times. Do it like this 
instead, creating a new ListItem for each:

li = Wx::ListItem.new
li.state = LIST_STATE_SELECTED
li.id = 0 # For row 0
li.text = '123'
@list.insert_item li
