Description Thorsten Oppels 2018-03-24 12:00:39 UTC 
When Configure the Desktop; Background: Layout Folder-View; Filter: Show matching files; File type: application.

You see all mime types where application is in the description name. (a huge number) Then click on 'Choose all'.

I suppose that all visible(!) items are selected. But insteed ALL (including the not visible items) are selected. This is not supposed.

I want to select only all visible items.

Maybe someone who is able to can correct this.

Sorry, but this is the intended behavior. I've never seen a list where a "Choose/Enable all" action acts only on the viewport.
Comment 5 Eike Hein 2018-03-24 14:53:04 UTC 
Or wait, do you mean it's not limiting it to the result of the filtering?

Exact this is what I mean! 'Select all' should be limited to to result of the filtering.

Thank you very much for the quick action and repair!
I am not a developer and will wait until the fix raises downstream.
