By default, the 'highlighting' is considered as a selection. Since you  
can't have two items selected at the same time, the second cancels the  
first. To avoid this behaviour, make each list keep its selection to  
itself by using the 'exportselection=0' option when you create the Listbox  
instance. This should work as you expect.
