Description David 2005-11-02 13:35:09 UTC
Please describe the problem:
In past versions, I could use the SHIFT key to select several contacts at once
and add them to To: or Bcc: fields, in the pop-up dialog window that appears
when one clicks on To: button (2.0.4 worked like this).

Now I have to select each address at once, which is very frustrating because
frequently I need to send messages to a pool of dozens of contacts in my
"Friends" address book and I always need to leave several of them out, according
to the message content. What I did previously was to select all contacts with
SHIFT and then use CTRL to take out the ones I didn't want to send the message.

The use of SHIFT and CTRL keys to do multiple selections in selectors is a must
have for any aplication to make it more usable.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Compose a new message
2. Press To: button
3. Select first contact and while pressing SHIFT select last contact
4. Press CTRL and select a contact in the middle of the list


Actual results:
After step 3. Last contact is selected alone
After step 4. Contact in the middle is selected alone

Expected results:
After step 3. All contacts in the list should be selected
After step 4. contact in the middle should be unselected while the remaining
ones keep selected

Does this happen every time?
Yes
