Thank you for your reply

The supported options for -selectmode are: single, browse, multiple and extended

I tried none just to see if it made a difference ... which it didn't.

I've also tried binding to double-left-click with something like:

$hlist -> bind("<Double-Button-1>" => \&DoubleClicked);
sub DoubleClicked
  { my @selected = $hlist->selectionGet();
    my $entry = $selected[0];
    print "DoubleClicked: $entry\n";
    $hlist->hide('entry', $entry);
    $mw->update();
    sleep(1);
    $hlist->show('entry', $entry);
  }

The sleep was me just doing a simple experiment to see what would happen (I know Callbacks should complete as quickly as possible).

I've also noticed that:

• -selectforeground=>"Red" has no effect when a style is given to a HList entry
• That is, -selectforeground works fine as long as I don't apply a style.
• So there is some interaction between the two.

My next attempt is to delete the HList and re-populate ... which seems a bit extreme.
