No, sorry for the confusion, this also happens in the IDE.
We did not make a distribution/standalone yet. This has to work  
first ;-)

Yes, started with a fresh stack and experienced the same.
No problems if the stack is a mainstack, see below...

Good idea, said and done!

I added some lines to the "mouseup" handler in the btn "DataGrid"
answer "Mouse was clicked"
answer sDeselectOnMouseUp

and the mouseclick gets to the lib but the local variable  
"sDeselectOnMouseUp" is empty at that point so the selection will not  
change(?).

But my other observation is also correct, this only happens after I  
set the custom behavior AND the stack
with the grid is a substack, honestly :-)

All is fine if that stack is a mainstack, makes no sense, but that's  
the way it is.
