[sugar] Journal view "flips" topmost entries

Recent Joyride.  I typically have two Terminal sessions active - 
I've given them different titles, so I can distinguish between the 
types of work I do in each.  I notice that when I "call up" the 
Journal screen, often which session is displayed at the very top 
will "flip" shortly after that screen begins to be displayed.  [I've 
even occasionally observed the entries "flip" again, after I've been 
looking at the Journal screen for a while.]

One problem I have with my XO is that it sometimes is too SLOW for 
my reactions.  Just now had been trying out an Activity.  Ended it. 
Went to the Journal, with the intention of erasing the entry that 
Activity logged there.  Saw that entry at the very top, clicked on 
the little arrow at the right end of the top entry, went to the 
toolbar and clicked on 'Erase', got put back in Journal -- and saw 
the entry I wanted to erase still being shown on the Journal screen.

Apparently, what had happened was that as I was moving the cursor to 
the little arrow of the topmost entry, that topmost entry was 
changed by Journal to show one of my Terminal sessions.  When I then 
clicked on 'Erase' in the detail screen, I did not notice that the 
detail screen was NOT for the entry which I had thought I had asked 
for -- and what I erased was an entry I did not intend to erase.
