pgAdmin3 1.6b2: "Database bar" in SQL dialogue window shows weird behaviour

Hi developers!

I am testing pgAdmin III Beta 2 (Oct 3 2006, re: 5426:5427) on Windows 
XP (latest patch level).
RDBMS is PG 8.1.4 on a remote debian sarge server. (PG from backports.org).
Connected via SSH-tunnel with port forwarding.

In the SQL dialogue window, the "Database bar" shows weird behavior:- When I use the mouse wheel while the "Database
bar"is highlighted 
 
the "<new connection>" dialogue opens. If i turn the wheel further 
pgAdmin tries to open a new connection to localhost on port 5432 
immediately, which I do not use. My standard connection ist local port 
65432 (being forwarded to port 5432 on remote server).
- When I select "<new connection>" I can only chose among listed 
database names. But the actual databases at the selected Server are not 
liested. So the dialogue is basically useless for me.

- When I chose a new server in the dialogue, pgAdmin tries to connect 
right away, with no database chosen (I did not click ok), which results 
in an error message, of course.

I hope the report is of any use.
I've also noticed a large number of improvements. But I guess I am only 
expected to report what's _not_ working. ;)
pgAdmin is my favourite admin tool and I appreciate your efforts a lot!
