You will need to bind '<Button-1>' for each list box to something like:
def button1(e):
row = e.widget.lists[0].nearest(e.y)
e.widget.selection_clear(0, END)
e.widget.selection_set(row)
return 'break'
# how to bind
alistbox.bind('<Button-1>', button1)
The less than obvious thing here is that selections (highlighted here)
are different than the active index (which is marked with an underline).
You are probably using the active index and don't realize the difference.
