Hilighting of selected row in Option button, doesn't hilight

[Mark Swindell]

Strange.  I'm not sure what's going on for you, but the behavior you  
want is the behavior I get with the template combo button.   How does  
a fresh combo button behave if you just drag a new one onto a new  
stack?   I was thinking the issue was that you wanted to set the label  
to some custom string, yet maintain the previous state and menu items  
when clicking on it.
