In Synaptic package manager, you can select multiple packages by keeping the Ctrl key pressed while clicking on different packages. This is the normal behaviour.


If you open the "mouse properties" and enable "Show me the pointer when Ctrl is pressed", this will not work anymore.

Instead, when you press ctrl, it simply disable the mouse click, you cannot select a package anymore.

Gnome 2.22 on Ubuntu Hardy with latest updates, Metacity with Compositing enabled.
