I recall seeing this behavior in FrameMaker 6.0, but had never
noticed in in FM7.x (maybe because I usually have more than 
two files open). I seem to recall that the issue was a display
bug--the list box would not display up and down scroll buttons 
when there were only two items in the list, apparently because 
the list was too short to fit the buttons. But I also seem to 
recall that I could use the cursor keys (the down arrow, 
specifically) to highlight the otherwise invisible 2nd item in 
the list. But I could be making that up...
