On my app when the jListView highlight color is set, sometimes (not always) the item click will not work, just restoring back to default color allows item click to work every time.
Seems random, try after a reload of the list with different item length, which is what I am doing. I will do some more testing to see if it is localised. I will also try replacing the jListView component on the form which seemed to work the last time, even after doing a cleanup/build.
