Description Scott Couston 2006-11-18 11:45:31 UTC
Version:           3.5.1 (using KDE 3.5.1 Level "a" , SUSE 10.1)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.16.21-0.25-smp

If a file/directory list is present on the screen with NOTHING selected the action of SHFT + Click will select an undevined number of files/directory. IF however a file/directory is first selected then SHFT + Click functions correctly.

When presented with an unselected list the correct operation of SHFT+ Click should select the CURRENTLY selected file/directory and the next to be selected under SHFT + Click.

Currently without a selected file/directory a SHFT + Click will select the corresponding and an unknown number of other which are not yet selected.

100% re-producable

I can reproduce with KDE 3.5.5, SUSE Linux 10.1.
Comment 2 Scott Couston 2007-04-03 04:08:15 UTC
I can also reproduce with KDE 3.5.5 "release 45.2" Suse Linux 10.2

I have NO idea what conception you have altered KDE 3.5.5 "release 45.2" to. It is certainly NOT what I thought I adequately described above and is certainly does not follow CUA convention.

Without keyboard conventions like those that have been laid down for over 25 years in controlling mass/singular selection of files and directories we may as well ALL give up now!

If we have NO standard to work towards then the software becomes a salad. - Its not too hard!

Thank you for the bug report. It appears the bug is no longer present in KDE SVN trunk (r809157). I am not sure the current behaviour is what you expect. Feel free to open a new bug report after having tested the new version.

A part a new bug introduced recently, which is going to be fixed, shift select will works correctly in KDE SC 4.4.
