I'd call bug on this one.
It's off the screen.
Interesting. I've got a script that pulls up all of the names in my Eudora Address book in a list (and that's about 1100 give or take a few) and it behaves. So it looks like a list length or char count issue that makes it misbehave. Perhaps Chris will weigh in with the goods on this.
In your example (on my Mac) it works okay up to 1718, but at 1719 items the buttons are starting to move down off the screen (but are still clickable). At 1720 they are off the screen. The exact same behaviour happens with the example that I sent in (which only uses the numbers). So the char count for the total of list items doesn't seem to matter, but rather the number of items in the list is what's doing it. That also explains why my Eudora address list works okay (it's well under the 1719 figure).
