Hi. To give a more clear idea of the listview, here is what happens.
When I tab to it the first item is highlighted. When I press down arrow,
the pc cursor moves to the next item and then gets stuck because it
appears the only way to select an item is to left mouse button on it. I
don't think any of the listview functions will work since it is
impossible to get a handel to the listview window (every window in the
entire program is called Mozilla_WindowClass). This is Thunderbird and
lightning I am dealing with.
