Version: 1.4.0 OS: Linux Using the timeline, i find it very difficult to select more than one unit (day/week/...), for the following reasons: 1. I am required to click a very small area for selecting additional units (small square in the bottom) (This applies to selecting the first unit too). Why not allow selection by clicking the full unit representation? 2. I can only select additional units by holding CTRL key, not by holding SHIFT key. It would be nice to be able to select a row of units by holding SHIFT key, similar to other list views. It would also be nice if I could drag a selection. 3. It is difficult to recognize the selection at all, because the "current" marking of a unit is so dominant visually. Why not coloring the full unit background with selection color? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Try using the timeline Actual Results: it takes a lot of time to realize how to make a selection Expected Results: it is easy to make a selection OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.35-ARCH Compiler: gcc

I'd say point 2 is fixed as well, not sure if we should really be able to move a selection...?
point 2 means that it should be possible to click on monday, then hold SHIFT and click friday, to make the range monday - friday selected - that is normal behavior in various widgets supporting multiple selection, and also would be very convenient.
Yes I know what point 2 means, I just fixed it :-) I just don't understand this part: " It would also be nice if I could drag a selection"
Wonderful that this have been implemented, big thanks! The dragging concept would mean that dragging would work similar to shift: press the left mouse button on monday, then drag to select more days or weekd (by dragging vertically). I think it works like this in some calendar views, for example the korganizer agenda and month views.
Oh, this has already been implemented... So I guess we can close the bug... finally :-) Andi
