Highlighting selected item
Can anyone advise why MythCenter doesn't respect a change in font in the
recordings list (Watch Recordings) in the selected state?

(from base.xml)
<buttonlist name="basebuttonlist2">
<area>0,0,760,305</area>
<layout>vertical</layout>
<spacing>5</spacing>
<wrapstyle>selection</wrapstyle>
<buttonarea>0,0,760,260</buttonarea>
<statetype name="buttonitem">
<area>0,0,760,25</area>
<state name="active">
<textarea name="buttontext">
<area>1,1,730,24</area>
<font>basesmall</font>
<font state="disabled">basesmallgrey</font>
<font state="error">basesmallyellow</font>
<font state="warning">basesmallbold</font>
<font state="normal">basesmallboldblue</font>
<font state="running">basesmallgreen</font>
<align>vcenter</align>
</textarea>
</state>
<state name="selected" from="active">
<shape name="selectbar">
<area>5,-4,750,29</area>
<type>roundbox</type>
<line color="#00FF00" alpha="255" width="1" />
<fill color="#43b038" alpha="128" />
<cornerradius>4</cornerradius>
</shape>
</state>
<state name="inactive" from="active" />
</statetype>

and then from recordings-ui.xml:
<buttonlist name="recordings" from="basebuttonlist2">
<area>225,31,550,330</area>
<buttonarea>0,30,550,270</buttonarea>
<spacing>4</spacing>
<wrapstyle>captive</wrapstyle>
<statetype name="buttonitem">
<state name="active">
<textarea name="titlesubtitle" from="buttontext">
<area>15,1,370,24</area>
<font>basesmallboldblue</font>
</textarea>
<textarea name="shortdate" from="titlesubtitle">
<area>340,1,100,24</area>
<align>right</align>
<font>basesmallboldblue</font>
</textarea>
<textarea name="starttime" from="shortdate">
<area>450,1,95,24</area>
<align>right</align>
<font>basesmallboldblue</font>
</textarea>
<statetype name="playlist">
<state name="yes">
<imagetype name="playlistyes">
<position>-1,-5</position>
<filename>playlist_yes.png</filename>
</imagetype>
</state>
<state name="no" />
</statetype>
</state>
<state name="inactive" from="active">
</state>
<state name="selected" from="active">
<textarea name="titlesubtitle" from="buttontext">
<area>15,1,370,24</area>
<font>basesmallbold</font>
</textarea>

Note the last part that overrides with basesmallbold instead of the
basesmallboldblue from the active definition. If I remove the inheritance
or change the font to a different color, nothing makes the "selected" state
with the highlighted selectbar respect or use the override.

Thoughts?
