Description Christian Kirbach 2008-01-29 20:21:42 UTC 
Selecting multiple icons

1. Select the first icon "in rectangle mode" and then select the last icon by shift-clicking on it 
-> Only the last file will be selected

-> Works in spatial and browser mode
-> works with single- and double-click mode


It will work if you again do a shift+click.
It will also work properly if the first icon is clicked in single-click mode

Could be related to Bug 509432
Comment 2 Cosimo Cecchi 2008-01-29 20:38:54 UTC 
It happens, confirming.
What's strange is that after you make this work by single-clicking the first icon and shift-clicking the last, then it will work also when selecting with the rectangle.

Proposed patch

How do you just guys find such bugs?! :) The problem is that we're not treating single-click on an icon exactly equal to rubberbanding one icon. The attached patch should fix it. It has also been submitted to the Nautilus mailing list:
