Description Milosz Derezynski 2006-02-23 15:42:31 UTC 
In short, FC should select the exact same items when you press CTRL+A that it
would when you'd call the select_all() method, it's simply a small inconsistency
and a small usability bug.

Comment 1 Federico Mena Quintero 2007-01-25 19:20:12 UTC 
Yeah.  I actually think select_all() should select *everything* just like Ctrl-A does; not just files or folders.  This is easy to fix; do you think you could provide a patch?
Comment 2 Alexandre Franke 2015-07-31 23:25:49 UTC 
Can you describe the difference between the two selections? It's difficult to guess if you don't know it and I have no way to check that this bug is still relevant.

nothing happened on this in a decade; needinfo won't change that
