Retain Error List Highlighting

Allow highlighted lines in the "Error List" to remain highlighted when the user focuses on another window (e.g. the LPEX editor).

Currently, lines in the Error List which are highlighted retain their highlighting even though the list may be sorted in different ways -- as long as focus is not switched to another view. This is convenient for finding all errors of the same type, and in the sequence they appear in the program.

But when the user switches to the LPEX editor to locate and modify the highlighted errors, the highlighting is lost ... and the target messages sink into obscurity. ;-)


Use Case:

1. Open an editing window for a program for which errors will appear when compiling.
2. Compile that program to show messages in the Error List.
3. Click the "ID" heading to sort the list by (message) ID, if not done by default.
4. Shift-click a range of lines to highlight a group of errors (such as all lines with the same message ID).
5. Click the "Line" heading to re-sort the list by Line (number). The error messages are shown in order of their occurrence in the program, with lines having the selected message ID highlighted.
6. Click in the program's LPEX editor window. The Error List highlighting on the selected messages is lost.
