This is by design, you're changing what's in the combobox or below. If 
it matches something in the listbox, it will replace that when 
Add/change is clicked.

Originally intended, the user might enter any user name here, not only 
those from the combobox which might have suppressed user names. OTOH, I 
agree it seems error prone, so I'll change that.

I suspect there's *something* he didn't tell us so far, since he's 
experiencing this on more than one system. Can't imagine what...
