Bug Description

Open a directory with several (say 7) files and folders in list view with Nautilus 3.6.3.
While holding the ctrl key, click some files that appear consecutively (say no. 3, 4 and 5), selecting them.
Release ctrl and hold shift. Press the down arrow key once.

What I expect to see is that the next consecutive file is added to the selection (no. 6 in the example).
Instead, the whole selection is offset by 1 (in the example, no. 4, 5 and 6 are selected).

This behavior is different than when I start the action by selecting the files with shift, in which case the expected behavior occurs.
