List widget, check menu item, file selection.

[johannes nada kth se (Johannes Keukelaar)]

Hello everyone,

Here's some, erm, things that I noticed when building my interface:

1) When you use the keyboard to work with a gtk_list in single selection mode 
(as in any other selection mode), it is possible to have more than one (in fact 
all) items selected. (That is, they're all blue, but not all part of the 
selection (I think).)

2) As for check menu items, when they are not checked, they only show their 
dimple when the mouse is over them. When they _are_ checked, however, they show 
their dimple also without the mouse over them.

3) The file selection dialog's file list and directory list show items selected 
even when the user didn't select anything. I.e. pop up a newly created file 
selection dialog. The file list will show that the first item is blue, i.e. the 
user is going to think that that's the one that's currently selected. Wrong! No 
file has yet been selected. (And the directory list will show that the .. entry 
is selected?)

Does anyone else feel that these things are, perhaps, somewhat odd?

Regards,

Johannes.
