NavBar widget in LC9.0.0

[prothero at earthlearningsolutions.org]

I’ll make a test stack. But the problem is, 
I click on item 1. Item 1 is hilited.

Then I run a script with:
Set the hiliteditem of widget “navbar” to 3

Item 3 does not hilite, but if I do, in script:
Put the hiliteditem of widget “navbar” into theItem
.. theItem is set to 3, but the widget’s hilite (the color of the item) stays on item 1.

So what I’m unable to get to work is the hilite color move to item 3.

I’m using LC9.0.0 on OS X 10.13

I’ll try it again in the morning, perhaps make a test stack. Or maybe it will just go away.

Best,
Bill
