[thelist] Dropdown list not retaining selected value

[VOLKAN ÖZÇELİK]

Hi,

I don't know the cause of the problem, and I have not coincided
something similar. But it appears that the viewstate does not persist
correctly. This may be an MS bug which has not been caught yet.

As an alternative approach, you may have two panels and play with
their visibility server-side, instead of moving an entire panel along.
It will be somewhat markup duplication, but will solve the problem
imho.

HTH,
Volkan.
