    # loading designs into list

    var selectionlist = ['']

    if (result.size() > 0):

        # loop for adding the shields to the item list control

        for row in range(0, result.size()):

            selectionlist.append(result[row]['designname'])

    selection_list.append('test1')
    selection_list.append('test2')
    selection_list.append('test3')
    selection_list.append('test4')
    selection_list.append('test5')
    selection_list.append('test6')
    selection_list.append('test7')
    selection_list.append('test8')
    selection_list.append('test9')
    selection_list.append('test10')
    selection_list.append('test11')

    # loading shield selection list
    for shield_id in range(selection_list.size()):
        select_shield_list.add_item(selection_list[shield_id],null,true)

Hmmm... Cutting/pasting your code into a 3.5 project seems to work. Though, the first 2 records you show in the image must be coming from the for loop that precedes that block of static append calls. Since I don't have that data structure here, I just commented out that loop.

But, I can select all of the test* items using the mouse (or scroll to them via the keyboard). Bottom line, I don't see the problem here. Do you have the same issue if you comment out the for loop that (apparently) provides the initial 2 records?

Hmmmm, I put all 'test' entries in and blocked off the other additions. Still had problems mouse clicking on the top one, on the left side of the line. I say the 'left side' as I noticed that when I click on the far right of the desired line, no selection problems. I then thought that there might be a 'margin' problem, there were some weird numbers in the control (-8), but after I set them to zero, still have the selection issues. Weird that you are not having any issues. I am developing on a vanilla Ubuntu box, but don't see why that would cause issues. I have other controls (LineEdit boxes) that you can click on to enter data that work fine.

Sounds a bit like there is a control node in front of it. You can change all controls mouse mode in the inspector. Control and container nodes by default block the mouse.

I assume you mean by that to go to Control->Mouse->Filter and change that to ignore?

you were right! There was an overlapping boundary from another control that was overlaying the Itemlist control. I didn't see it as the 'visibility' was off by default. Thank you for your answer.
