Toggle to Exclude: Start with no objects selected on the page and all the articles included in the panel. Select an article in the panel. Toggle off a different article - it will toggle off both the one you clicked on and the selected one. Also, it may scroll the panel depending on the selected item's position but I assume fixing the main issue will fix this, too.

I like the new checkmarks! They don't feel heavy like the square ones did and match the overall aesthetic.

I'm not a fan of the off state but maybe that's just because I still yearn for the days of System 7. 🙂

Thanks Mike - I did notice and log this when testing that fix.
