Bug Description
Selecting several files with the keyboard: CTRL - mouseclick toggles 1 file and keeps selected. SHIFT-click selects between last selected and now selected, but SHIFT-CTRL-click does not register the SHIFT funktion, so instead of selecting all files between previous click and this one, it only selects this file.
This using ubuntu 8.04 with all updates todate. This happens in file-manager

Thanks for reporting this problem and making Ubuntu better.
I can confirm the described behaviour on nautilus on hardy BETA. However, I believe this is in the parameter of default behaviour. The shift selection, always refers back to the last clicked position to the current one. I don't see any meaningful behaviour diverting from the current one.
Please explain exactly what should happen and why this is a proper change for the default behaviour. Otherwise, I would like to close this report.
Thanks
