Robert,
You probably have "toggle hilites" checked on; this would explain the
behavior you're getting. To get a basic "select one" list field, you should
have the default options that MC puts on a field once you have checked
"listBehavior": traversalOn (true), lockText (true), autohilite (true),
listBehavior (true) and sharedText (true). All other properties on the
Behavior tab are left unchecked. Technically, you only need the lockText,
autoHilite and listBehavior checked, but it doesn't hurt to have the other
two (traversalOn and sharedText) turned on unless they cause you problems.
As to your other comments - switching from browse to pointer tool (switching
from edit to run) or going to another card forces the object with the
current focus to lose focus, so there's nothing technically wrong with the
way MC is acting. If you need to store the current selections so that when a
card is displayed it will display the selections properly, you can store the
hilitedLines in a custom property of the list field and then restore it on
openCard.
Hope this helps,
