I have a strange problem with auto-select using the keyboard in a multiple selection ListBox.
Normally, when entering a letter on the keyboard will select the first occurrence of the string containing the letter.
However, when I enter another letter, it selects the new letter but DOES NOT deselect the previous selection!
In the attached pictures, the first selection is found by entering "T" on the keyboard.
The second selection is found by entering the letter "j" but does not deselect the previous one.
See attached pictures.
However, selection using the mouse deselects previous selection.
Any advice?

By auto-select, I mean entering a letter key on the keyboard automatically selects the first occurrence of the string contained in the list box. I think the attachments illustrated this quite clearly.
If I press the letter “T” on the keyboard , the entry for “Twelve balls entry.pdf” is highlighted.
If I entered the letter lowercase “j”, the first entry containing that letter “jim mosely solution edited.jpg” is highlighted.
Basically, I would like to duplicate the behavior of Windows Explorer in selecting the first occurence of a file in a folder which matches a keyboard character but deselects the previous one.
I am not talking about multiple selection using the ctrl or shift keys.
