It makes no sense to question the code before verifying that your
data isn't garbage.

Still a bad test case because it depends on a bunch of other variables
that we have to guess about.  I don't understand why you can't provide
something self-contained.

Is that really all that's in "main"?  What does "typeset -p main"
say?

Still not seeing a problem.

	% cat foo.zsh
	typeset -A main

	main[window]=main
	main[list]=List
	main[lastE]=196
	main[height]=48
	main[width]=90
	main[bottomE]="$main[height]"
	main[topE]=1
	main[currentE]=1
	main[offset]=0
	main[active]=1

	typeset -p main

	printf '%-20s %s\n' ${(kv)main}

	% zsh foo.zsh
	typeset -A main=( [active]=1 [bottomE]=48 [currentE]=1 [height]=48 [lastE]=196 [list]=List [offset]=0 [topE]=1 [width]=90 [window]=main )
	width                90
	window               main
	offset               0
	topE                 1
	height               48
	active               1
	bottomE              48
	lastE                196
	list                 List
	currentE             1
