There is a bug in equi_journal_active.xml

[Imadruid]

equi_journal_active.xml is for the little quest helper window that can be displayed. However, if you have four or more quest tasks the window doesn't behave as expected.

The window contains a TreeView. The TreeView is used to display the quest steps. By defualt, SOE have set the treeview as Interactive="false". This would mean they don't want you to be able to select things in the tree. However, they also set the value SelectedRow="3". This is a zero-based value that determines what line in the tree is highlighted when the tree is created.

The value they used of "3" works fine as long as the user doesn't change the opactiy settings for this window while in game.

However, if they do change their settings so that the Background opacity is all the way to the left under normal conditions (non-mouseover), then the user will experience a black bar highlighting the fourth task in the quest. Needless to say, the user will be clueless as to why this is happening.

I have come up with a workaround that seems to work for me. I have changed that property to the following: SelectedRow="-1". This seems to eliminate the annoying balck bar. I'm not sure if SOE has a recommended value for "don't highlight anything until the user clicks on something", or not.
