[MIB Explorer] MIB Explorer 2.3 Lite - bugs in trap display setting and Look & Feel

Hi Frank,

I think I found a bug or two in the Traps display settings in the Preferences of MIB Explorer v2.3 Lite (for Windows).

I noticed that when my equipment sends a burst of 6 to 10 trap notifications within 2 seconds, sometimes the Pause button in the Trap display area automatically is depressed, so that additional notifications remain hidden until I click on the button. That can be quite confusing.
I did not have the Auto Inhibition Threshold setting in the Preferences activated, so I think it shouldn't be hiding or pausing anything (bug 1).

After I then activated the setting, it seemed to behave the same as before.
I tried to increase the allowed number of traps per second, but the value would always show 100 per second when I returned to it later. The setting seems to be stuck at this number (bug 2).

There may also be a bug in the Look & Feel section, or perhaps not all skins are available for Windows? 
Currently it only seems to have 2 skins available: the first (default) one, and the Windows look.

And finally, a couple of feature enhancement requests for the Traps display:

For the Windows Look & Feel (or preferably just for the Windows version of the software, regardless of the selected skin) I would like to get some additional Windows-like behavior, if possible.
a.) When I want to select a range of displayed trap notifications at once, I have to select (click) the first line and then press the shift key and click on the last line to select (highlight) all lines in this range. Would it be possible to allow selection of all available notification lines at once with the key combination Ctrl-A (after at least one line is selected to activate the feature)? 
b.) After I selected some trap notifications to delete, I have to click the trashcan button to execute the removal. Can you add the same function to the Del button of the keyboard?
