No that's not what I mean.

When the script exits I cannot click on any part of the listbox
unless I click on 'design mode' twice. I can see a fat cross when I
hover over the listbox, and if I click the cursor temporarily turns
to an arrowed cross. But it doesn't select the rows, instead it seems
to be in another mode altogether.

You need to enter design mode to create it, then leave design mode to
use it. That precludes 2 clicks are required!
