how to get a list fleld whithout any hilitedLine (before user chooses one)

[Sarah Reichelt]

If you set the traversalOn of the field to false, this avoids the
problem Phil mentions. It will also stop the field getting a hilite if
the stack is resumed with no other clickable field available.

Cheers,
Sarah
