Did Sigil ever work that way in the AddCover? Why would it default to having something already selected. It is the act of clicking that actually makes your choice apparent.
I am not 100% on this.

Kevin,
You are probably correct, this is nothing new. But, I would like to use the arrow keys to cycle through the list. Consider this:
1. Start Sigil and add in some images that are potential covers, say they are flower.jpg, marmot,jpg and zebra.jpg.
2. Open Add Cover. screenshot1 shows the picture at top of the list (flower) but no highlighting. I want flower as the cover, I know what a flower looks like, and so I click OK and all is well.
3. Well, I don't want flower so I will use down arrow to see the next image. screenshot2 shows nothing has changed except flower.jpg is highlighted on the list. But I don't want flower, why didn't the down arrow key advance the list the next image in the list?
4. I press down arrow again and the image now changes to the next item in the list: marmot. Again, no highlighting, but I know what a marmot looks like. I don't want that image either so again with down arrow. There is no effect and so the down arrow key is now useless: I can't cycle through the list with down arrow key nor the up arrow key.
Here's my opinion:
1. I want to be able to cycle through the list with the up/down arrow keys but I can't, I have to use multiple mouse clicks to cycle through the list.
2. There should always be highlighting that corresponds to the visible image. Highlighting is positive confirmation that the visible image and the filename are paired. If you know names and not pictures then using the mouse (or shortcut) is the only way to go.
