[AccessD] List box misbehaving

List boxes are almost like subforms in their behavior.  There is no
point in reporting it because it is a "feature", not a bug.  They've
behaved this way in every version of Access.

I was more intent on trying to discover why it misbehaves in the first
place - but yes, that certainly SHOULD 'fix' it - Is this reportable to
the M$ code police?
