Navigator 6.1 alpha1 is out

[chipsm at themartinz.com]

Geoff, When I create a new Navigator for a Group, when I click on an item it
does not get selected on the card. Am I doing something wrong?

Sincerely,

I made a slight update to fix an issue with the drag and drop indicators.
Using some fonts in Navigator's list field would cause the indicators to be
off when dragging in long lists. Oddly, this seems to be because the
effective textHeight of the field reports a 1-off pixel count. So instead of
using that I switched to using the textheightsum / the number of lines of
the field. Wasteful, but accurate.

You can update Navigator to get the fix. As usual:

 Get Navigator here
<https://www.dropbox.com/s/kz3zqi4botzglgq/navigator.zip?dl=1>. Or grab it
from GitHub <https://github.com/gcanyon/navigator>.
