I've run into a rather interesting bug under OS 8.5.

Cells in List Mgr lists fail to highlight when selected.

Under MacOS 8.5 on a PowerMac, run the example project at
FutureBasic II:(FB) Examples:Handbook:List Mgr Examples:List Mgr FB.bas

Click on any item in the list.  Notice that it does not highlight, but
everything else operates correctly.
This same sample code works fine under OSes prior to 8.5.  (the List Mgr has
been rewritten to be PPC native in OS 8.5, so this may be due to a change in
how the List Mgr operates now...)

Interestingly, the project at <<FutureBasic II:(FB) Examples:Handbook:List Mgr
Examples:List Mgr DLOG.bas>> works fine; list items highlight correctly.

Any ideas what might cause this or workarounds?

I've also tried this with my own custom LDEF; it looks like the LDEF is never
sent the _lHiliteMsg message, among other oddities.
