whups. looking at the source, LstDrawList doesn't care about attr.visible,
it cares about attr.usable.
when deleting text do you call LstSetListChoices? that implicitly erases
the list.
i don't know why it would make a difference about deleting or adding text.
i suspect that's a red herring and that there's something different in your
code between the two codepaths.
