File selection dialog does not allow selecting multiple files using Ctrl

[James]

I have no idea if I have filed this against the right package. It happens in both Firefox and Chrome, whatever provides their file selection dialog for uploads is apparently the problem, I don't know if that's gnome shell or something else.

When I want to upload multiple files in a web browser, I can do that if I hit shift, and then click another file. But, that selects not just the two files that I clicked on, but every file in between them in the dialog (which is the expected behaviour when shift clicking in a file selection dialog). When I just want to select two files that are not displayed next to each other, I expect to be able to Ctrl+click on the files, and for them and only them to be selected. But, this doesn't happen, the second file does not get selected when I do that.
