Robin,

   If it was the unfocused/focused selection colors, I don't think it would
behave the way it now does. It looks 'unfocused' until I click on it or
another item, then it becomes 'focused' and stays that way.

   I'll send a screenshot and the code when I get the application running
again. I'm making major changes on a notebook page and it's currently in an
unstable state.

   Oh. With the same number of items in the list it used to go down. Now it
goes up. The application window is in the same position on the screen. Oh,
well.

   Thank you. That will probably make it easier to see where we are. It may
also resolve the first issue above. Need to wait for the app to pass syntax
check before testing these fixes.
