Description Josh Lee 2005-01-17 15:45:07 UTC 
1. Click on an icon on the desktop
2. Shift+click on an icon somewhere else on the desktop

Actual results:
It selects both icons, as well as some other icons seemingly at random.

Expected results:
It should select all the icons bounded by an imaginary rectangle.

Other information:
It appears to be selecting the icons based on when they were created??

still here with nautilus 2.9.90
Comment 2 Josh Lee 2005-01-31 02:30:47 UTC 
This should actually be filed under icon view. Basically, if you switch icon
view to sorted mode, and do the shift-click thing, it selects not an imaginary
rectangle, but all the icons *between* the two icons you picked. This makes
sense when sorting is on, but when we're using manual layout, it doesn't.

So, when manual layout is on, we should switch to the invisible rectangle thing.

(as an aside, windows 2000 does the rectangle selection in both cases. this is
probably not what we want.)

seems to be a duplicate of #150116 in fact.
