"I probably should file a separate bug about this, but there are
issues with selection handling when you are in select-multiple-files
mode.
- Open a multiple-files file selector (evolution insert-attachment say)
in a directory with subdirectories.
(The first subdirectory will be selected)
- Hit C-L and type the name of a file *in that directory*
- Hit return to close the C-L dialog
- Both the directory *and* the file will be selected. (But if
the file is off the first screen, you don't see it is selected)
I don't know if this happens with the 2.9.x inline location bar, but
it makes me think (getting back to the subject of this bug report)
that in select-multiple-files mode the treeview selection should be
adjusted / hacked up so that you can select
- One folder
- *Or* multiple files
But if you have a folder selected and try to Control-click a file,
it should deselect the folder, and if you have multiple files selected
and Control-click a folder, it should do nothing. (I think do nothing
is better than unselecting the files)"
