2009-05-15 16:44:26 Phil_fb summary Multiple selection in list view with shift+mouseclick fails sometimes Selection in tree view does not work as expected
2009-05-15 16:44:26 Phil_fb description Binary package hint: nautilus Try this to reproduce the problem: Remark: Set Desktops effects to "none" - I haven't been able to reproduce this with compiz enabled, so this may also be caused by metacity. - Set Nautilus to list view - navigate to a folder with some subdirectories in it - select any subdirectory except for the first one (rightclick on the name, not the arrow) - move the mouse to the line up to which you want to select - do NOT move the mouse from now on - press and hold shift - rightclick Instead of getting a multiple selection the first folder in the list expands (as if you had clicked on its' arrow) If you watch carefully, you can see, that the instant you press shift, the arrow for the first directory becomes black. If you now move the mouse, the arrow returns to its previews state and you can click to get the desired multiple selection. This behaviour becomes anoying, when you do lots of selections in quick succession for copying and just can't figure out why you sometimes get the selection and in other cases the first folder expands. I believe this has been there since hardy at least, but have only now found a way to reproduce it consistently.
