Description FiNeX 2009-04-11 11:30:29 UTC 
1) select one file on the folder view
2) press SHIFT (and keep it pressed)
3) click another file
The first one file is un-selected and the last one is opened.

I'm using KDE compiled from SVN (r952068) and Qt 4.5.0-3 from ArchLinux
repositories.



P.S: don't compare this bug with the current dolphin behaviour which is bugged too, bug 163451.

P.P.S: I've finished reoprting folder views bug... for today :-)

AFAIK, the same effect can be achieved using the Ctrl key to select multiple items.
Comment 2 FiNeX 2009-04-12 18:09:00 UTC 
@Shantanu: can you try the latest SVN revision? CTRL key behaviour should be fixed.

Yes I tried the latest SVN revision, CTRL key works fine for selecting multiple items. Please detail about what behaviour needs to be fixed.

The current behaviour is like described on the bug description:

1) select one file on the folder view
2) press SHIFT (and keep it pressed)
3) click another file
=> The first one file is un-selected and the last one is opened.

The expected behaviour (or at least what I'm expecting) is:
1) select one file on the folder view
2) press SHIFT (and keep it pressed)
3) click another file
=> all files between the first and the last one clicked are selected.

Ok, now I understand the expected behaviour for the SHIFT key. This will be worked upon. Thanks for reporting.

This bug is still reproducible in current trunk r1025694.
Comment 7 Shantanu Tushar 2009-09-25 19:07:50 UTC 
A fix has been proposed and is pending approval.
Comment 8 Shantanu Tushar 2009-10-08 19:45:18 UTC 
Fixed in current trunk r1032844. Thanks for reporting the bug. Please close the bug as RESOLVED if the behavior is fine.

SHIFT + click selection has been partially fixed.

It works (KDE SC 4.4 beta1) only if you don't click over the "+" icon which has recently been introduced in the folder view. Anyway this is the same behaviour of dolphin so we can leave it.
