Bug Description
Steps to reproduce:
Login in to a Wayland session
Open Nautilus
*TOUCH* on some white space beneath the files
Notice that you get a rubber-band select from the first item (top left) to where you touched.
Touch on a file/folder in the top right, and touch white space somewhere beneath the files.
Notice that the rubberband still starts at the top left.
I think that users would expect the same functionality as when using with a mouse, i.e. the selected files would be deselected.
I've attached a video to try and show this. Generally Nautilus with touch is a bit odd.

Thanks for your report. I reproduced it on an up to date artful installation.
