The possible approaches: 1. If no key is highlighted show nothing. 2. If no key is highlighted show the contents of the first one in the list of selected keys. 3. If no key is highlighted show the contents of all keys in the list of selected keys. 4. If no key is highlighted then highlight the first key in the list of selected keys. (1) is what we do now. Choices (2) and (3) would lead to a special casing when the dialog is displayed for the first time. Any manipulation of the keys results in one key being highlighted always. (4) would result in self-consistency but leaves me asking why is the key highlighted when I have not explicitly selected it? Personally, I think that there are UI issues with all these approaches but that choice (1) conforms best to the principle of least surprise. I certainly don't think that it's a 'nasty bug'. -- Angus
