Version:           2.1.0 (using KDE 4.7.0)

Actual Results:  
All items of the current album are added to the lighttable

Expected Results:  
The lighttable should be empty!

It's on purpose: I did not see the value of an empty lighttable or one with just one picture. By principle, the lighttable needs two.
There are three different actions, L, Ctrl+L, Ctrl+Shift+L. Of these, "L" tries to guess what the user wants, while the other two are clearly defined. I never do more than selecting the images I want to compare and press L.

Ah ok I see. Well then I will close it as WONTFIX.
