Okay, just a quick reply,...

Great.

Ah ... I misunderstood its function. Maybe "Show Range" or "Visualise
Range" or even "Mark Range" would be better captions. Regardless,
shouldn't the same happen when clicking on an entry inside the list?
(Currently, it works like this [mostly].)

Okay.


>> It is still miles better than the old dialogue, so go for it.
