List field line-up

This additional handler is great but I get a weird behaviour when used.
The highlight doesn't seem to go off certain fields.

I have four fields.  When I click on the last one the highlight moves in
sync however, the third
field seems to maintain it's highlight.

I've check all of the properties on the fields to make sure that they are
identical but this doesn't
help.

Another click and the field selection goes off and everything is highlighted
on the same line again.
This only seems to happen when I click on line one and move downward.  If I
start on the bottom line and click upwards everything is fine.

Have you seen this behaviour before?

Hi Nicholas,

The following additional handler in the script of
field 3 (and _mutatis mutandis_ in the other two
fields) should do the trick:

on mouseUp
  repeat for each item tLine in the hilitedLines of me
    select line tLine of fld 1
    select line tLine of fld 2
  end repeat
end mouseUp

This incidentally also covers the situation where you
have set the multipleLines property of the flds to
true.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
