Another one: Why don't brwlook show-only's in auto run every time?

I have this brwlook in my automatic processing:

::lookup slips = ttmslipe  k=1    i=c -nxm b="(brw=14,7,1 show=only
fill=desc,top)[Slip     Type    Tech    Desc:
::                    Comment]*1       *2      *7      *3
*131":

When I select a record from the index or browse, I get the brwlook. 

But if I then use the arrow keys to move up and down the index, I don't
get the browse, even when there are records that should match it.

If I go directly to those records, I do get it, with the proper
contents.  Shouldn't it happen every time automatic runs?  Automatic
runs every time I position myself onto a new record, right?

Or is this one of those nasty interactions with "automatic runs three
times, and there isn't a system variable to tell you which of the three
runs it is?"  :-}

Cheers,
