Custom lists no longer work

Hi Robert, thanks very much for your branch! It works perfectly and is now merged to trunk.

Note that I did some additional work to bring back the custom list action bar install capability that we had with the old UI, so I believe that at this point the custom list functionality should be fully restored in the new UI.

Thanks again! As always your good work is very much appreciated.

This bug was fixed in the package software-center - 4.1.23.5
