Update List Field Kills First Mouse Clickdown

[Sannyasin Sivakatirswami]

I have text entry  field with a "on closefield" handler that triggers 
an update handler in the stack script to update and sort  an adjacent 
list field on the same card, which then reflects changes in the entry 
field.

If I change the text in the "entry" field   then when I  move the mouse 
away from the field and click on the list field, the closefield action 
is triggered, the update hander runs and refreshes the list field (puts 
new list into it and sorts the list.)

But, the next click down on the list field is lost and the clicktext is 
empty. click a second time and you get a hilited line and clicktext is 
returned.

I tried to trigger the closefield handler (and thus cause the stack 
script handler to run immediately before the mousedown on the list)  on 
mouseleave, doesn't help. All varieties of attempts to update the list 
field ahead of time result in the same behaviour:

The first click down on the newly updated and sorted field is lost, 
only on the second click will the clickline hilite and clicktext be 
returned.
