Very difficult to select multiple files in list view

[Johnny Proton]

Binary package hint: nautilus

Navigate to a folder with multiple folders and files in list view, on right pane. All folders should be collapsed. Looks kind of like this:

  > Folder 1
  > Folder 2
  File 1
  File 2
  File 3

Select "File 1". Shift+Click on "File 3" which should select all 3 files.

Instead, "Folder 1" expands.

WTF?

Thanks for filing this bug Johnny.

When this happens, are the three intended files selected as well and the expansion of Folder 1 is some weird side-effect? I can't reproduce this on nautilus 1:2.27.2-0ubuntu1.

The more info the better of course. :)

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

Can't reproduce the bug in nautilus 2.27.4 as described in the bug report.

Sebastian, can you point to the upstream bug report also? Thanks!
