Description sean 2016-02-19 04:49:58 UTC
After selecting multiple files or folders in the file list view then attempting to click and drag the files out to a folder (in my case dolphin) the selection changes to only the file I clicked and dragged instead of keeping all selected files.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an archive with multiple files
2. Select two or more files and/or folders
3. Click and drag the selection.

Actual Results:  
Only the file or folder the click was made on will be selected.

Expected Results:  
Selection should remain and all files/folders should be extracted to destination.

I understand you can select multiple files then select "Extract to" but this requires more steps than simply dragging the selection to a folder view.
