Rev used to have a bug where if you clicked in an area below the 
choices, the last choice would automatically highlight, but the 
clickLine will still be empty. This has been fixed, but it seems 
there's still this bug left over. Because of the earlier bug, I've 
always put in an explicit "set the hilitedLines of me to empty"  in my 
mouseDown trap when the clickLIne is empty. This is of course a 
workaround, and I still think you should log the bug in Bugzilla, but 
it works for me:

on mouseDown
  if the clickLine is empty then
    set the hilitedLines of me to empty  --<< add this
    beep
  else
    put the value of the clickLine
  end if
end mouseDown
