I was thinking something similar after I wrote my last email, but didnt have the energy to write it up. Basically, if it can draw and scroll separate items (even if they are the same) then it can identify them for the purpose of highlighting and selection. If it couldnt tell the difference between the items it should only show one item. In any case, that would be a strong clue as to what is wrong. But it *can* tell the difference between the items.
I agree, and repeat again. This is a bug.

Yes it does - with the index. Change the list to this:
<mx:List id="myList" dataProvider="{selectedChannels}" width="100"
click="mx.controls.Alert.show(String(myList.selectedIndex ));" />
And then click on the items. It CORRECTLY identifies the selected item,
even though all 4 are the same. It can EASILY be done if it used the
index of the current item, rather than the value (which IMO - is
madness).
It might not be very friendly to have multiple items the same (but there
are places this is very useful), I don't see any reason this shouldn't
be fixed.

I don't think this is a bug as I am not sure how it could work any
differently. You are repeatedly adding the same item (the string
"hello") to the list so it has no way to differentiate between them and
uses the newest instance for the rollOver and rollOut actions. If you
want to display the same string multiple times I think you will need to
fill your ArrayCollection with objects and access a property via a
labelFunction.
