Geert,

I understand. Designing UIs are like writing: we know what we mean when we
create the UI or document, but not everyone sees it the same way. This is
one reason communication can be difficult.

Reading your history suggests a solution that should be easy to implement:
move the Select button to the button row on the bottom, perhaps between the
Cancel and OK buttons. That puts all actions in the same place and separates
Select from OK. Just a thought.

Best regards,
