[Avid-L2] List Tool Hangs on Assembly List when multiple input tracks are selected?

I've never worked in Avid Film project other than the hop scotch workflow when we use to have to export a 30 frame edl and reimport as 24 to online in 23.976.  I've found a way on MC 2018.12.15 to make a tabbed list that then imports into Excel being interpreted as a tab delimited text file.  If I select V1 as the only input track it works.  The sequence has 11 video tracks but all the content material is on V1-4.  If I use the same List Tool settings but select input as V2 it still includes all the V1 material.  If I select multiple video tracks for input then it hangs.  When it works the resulting Excel spread sheet has a title of "Assembly List."  Is there something the nature of a film assembly list hat would explain why when I select just V2 the list tool works but includes V1 content?  Would this also be a reason for it to hang when I select just V4 or multiple tracks?  I tried selecting an empty track V6 and it also hangs when trying to preview the list.  "Help me EDL Wan Kanobe, you're my only hope!"  ;-)
