There is some unintended behavior of the "Show (Listtype)" combo-box in the List Control Board that makes it inconvenient to work with.
To replicate the problem.
1. Open or create a new document
2. Open the List control board
3. Type a few characters in the document, so that it is modified.
4. Click the dropdown combobox that lets you select which types of list to show in the control board. You'll notice that the selected type always jumps back to the currently selected type.
If the document is unmodified, this behavior doesn't occur. I've tested this with Windows 7 & 8.1.
Best,

Odd Behavior - List Control Board
This is not happening here (Windows 8.1) with Atlantis version 1.6.6.2.

Thanks.

You’re right. When Spellcheck-As-You-Type is off, the items in that drop-down list cannot be selected properly.
No doubt this will soon be fixed.
There is still a workaround: switch to an empty document, choose the type of list you want displayed, then go back to the original document. The chosen list type will be filtered normally.

Hi Jesse,
I just found another workaround:
1. Place the mouse pointer over the unexpanded drop-down until the latter becomes highlighted in blue (i.e. selected).
2. Don’t move the mouse pointer, and slowly scroll the mouse wheel up (or down).
The next list type will automatically be selected.
3. Keep scrolling the wheel until the desired list type gets selected.
HTH.
Cheers,
Robert
