[Dxbase] Unexpected Summary Window Response

I recently upgraded to DXBase 2006 and I am seeing a response that I don't 
expect.  It's kind of confusing but I'll try to explain it and give an 
example.

With the User Options Internet set for Screen Updates for DX Info Window I 
double click in a Summary Window (HF-Country) band/mode box to open the 
Previous QSO Window it displays the expected info for the country, band and 
mode OK in the Previous QSO Window.  If a new spot then comes up in the 
Internet Cluster Window and the new spot is not selected in the Alerts 
options to appear in the DX Info Window the Summary Window doesn't change 
(as I expect) but when I double click on a band/mode box in the Summary 
Window to open the Previous QSO Window again it now opens to the country, 
band and mode for the new spot in the Internet Cluster Window even though 
the Summary Window and DX Info Windows haven't changed.

Example - 9H1JJ spot appears in the Internet Cluster Window for 17 CW. This 
is a needed spot based on my Alerts setting so the spot also appears in the 
DX Info Window.  The Summary window also updates to show 9H and the box for 
17 CW is highlighted in bright green.  I double click on any band/mode box 
in the Summary Window and the Previous QSO Window opens to show my previous 
9H QSO's for that band and mode. (all OK so far). Next I close the Previous 
QSO Window. Now a spot for A61AJ on 20 Phone comes up in the Internet 
Cluster Window. Because of the Alert settings and I have already confirmed 
A6 on 20 Phone there is no change in the DX Info Window and the Summary 
Window still shows the 9H info. (still all OK). Now I double click on a 
band/mode box in the Summary Window to show the 9H info again and the 
Previous QSO Window opens showing the A6 info for the band and mode even 
though the Summary Window is till showing 9H.

Can anyone explain why this is happening? I expect that the Previous QSO 
Window would always show the information for the country displayed in the 
Summary Window when I double click in a band/mode box.
