Nominating for nsbeta3 since this happens quite often when composing a document 
with bullets.

user can workaround by setting the caret placement, moving to future and assign 
to jfrancis

i can't get this to happen with build from last night.  I do note that if you 
click multiple times, you will get the list properties dialog if the clicks 
register as being on the list.  Perhaps the list props dialog is broken for
you?  
That might explain suddenly losing your selection.  

I'm dumping this off to Mike - if this isn't already fixed it's probably a 
selection problem; and cc'ing Charlie just in case he has any news about the
list 
props dialog.

minusing, the user is trying to click into a margin that doesn't exist. Unable
to reproduce on Windows or Linux.

mjudge: please dup this. I think it was fixed by recent work you did in 
locating caret when clicking past end of a line.
