CTRL + "Single Click" fails to un-select a selected icon

[Banin Abrar]

When selecting multiple files using CTRL + click, I noticed that I could NOT undo a selection by CRTL + clicking on it again.

Inside the Nautilus file browser, however, this issue is NOT present. From my testing, the issue is only present on the desktop.

PS: I filed this as a nautilus bug since desktop-icon related bugs are tagged as nautilus issues in this link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage#Graphical_Environment
