In the list field in the palette, try setting the traversalOn and 
autoHilite properties to false. You'll then have to script the 
hiliting of the field, something like:

on mouseUp
   set the hilitedLines of me to word 2 of the clickLine
end mouseUp

This should keep the selection in the toplevel stack.
