Anyway, they are using it in the main window and not in a dialog, which 
is still a different thing. So, if you really want to use and can't 
avoid them, then use them in a main window in normal mode! and not in a 
dialog!

I used your application and this part works in Fremantle as well. Daniel 
Martín Yerga proposed the edit mode in your case, so that the elements 
will kept selected. Have you tried that?
