Strange scrolling behavior using GWindows Multiple_Selection_List_Box

Strange scrolling behavior using GWindows Multiple_Selection_List_Box

[Ron Baldwin]

I am using GWindows Version 1.0 and using a
Multiple_Selection_List_Box to allow selection of multiple files in a
directory.

This issue is noticeable when the control is loaded with several dozen
file names.  The list box is set u with a vertical scroll bar.  When I
move the list box actuator all the way to the bottom, the display only
scrolls part way through the list.  If I release the actuator when at
the bottom, it returns to the top position and the list stays at the
same position.  If I then click in the scroll bar below the actuator,
the displayed portion of the list displays more entries toward the
bottom end of the list.

Is this corrected in Version 1.1 of GWindows?  Is there a better way
to select multiple files?

I don't know about GWindows specifically, but in Windows, one way to select
files is to customize the Open File dialog. The Open File dialog can handle
multiple selections, and it already does the dirty work of navigation.
Certainly Claw.Dialog.File supports both customization and multiple
selections (I've used both in various programs). The only problem is that
that dialog is not included in the Introductory version of Claw -- it's only
available in the paid version.
