Selecting a label in the cross-reference dialog with the keyboard

[aparsloe]

I notice that when the cross-reference dialog with its list of labels
opens, the focus is on a label but it is not selected. Using the up or
down arrow key selects the preceding or succeeding entry. To select the
initial entry you have to do up followed by down (or down followed by
up) -- two key strokes -- or use the mouse. When the cross-reference
list contains only one entry, as sometimes happens, it doesn't seem
possible with the keyboard to select the entry to insert it in your
document. You have to use the mouse.

I didn't and, thank you, it works. (Another little item of LyX arcana to
store away.) But I wonder why the initial entry with the focus is not
selected?
