Cannot reproduce with Dolphin 18.08, 18.12, or from git master. What version are you using? Do you use double-click or single-click? At home I use 18.04.3 as mentioned in the Bug. At work I use 17.12.3 and it is the same behavior. Don't use a double click. Only single clicks as I mentioned in my description and donn't draw a rectangle (this works). Still cannot reproduce on Kubuntu 18.10, Manjaro, or KDE Neon. Assuming it's been fixed in a later version. Please re-open if you can reproduce the issue in Dolphin 18.12 or later. Thanks! It is still present in Dolphin 18.12. Maybe some more ideas: The first item is NOT clicked with Shift pressed. Only swipe your mouse in from the right side to mark it with the lasso effect. Then go down with your mouse a few items and SHIFT+CLICK. In my case only the first and the last are selected. When I use Shift in the first time, it works as expected.

Maybe a screen recording would be helpful. Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.

Steps how to reproduce the wrong behavior
Sorry for my late reply. Now I tried to explain it in a small PDF. Can you now reproduce or need more information?
Sure I will help you as long as this annoying bug is solved :-)
Thanks a lot
Andreas
I don't know what to do after NEEDSINFO and after I delivered the requested information. So I set it to REOPENED. Is this correct? So basically, to reproduce, you go into details mode, select an item by drawing a rubber-band rectangle around one of its metadata columns (not the item itself) and then shift-click on an item somewhere else. The in-between items do not get selected. Everything works properly if your initial rubber-band selection touches the items themselves rather than their metadata columns. Oh yeah. You are right. When your first selection touches the filename it works as expected. But this only happens randomly because you are often just in the area around. It looks the same for your eyes. So you can reproduce it now? Finally? :-D Yep. :) The bug is probably somewhere in kitemlistcontroller.cpp, maybe in slotRubberBandChanged() https://cgit.kde.org/dolphin.git/tree/src/kitemviews/kitemlistcontroller.cpp#n1097 I'm glad someone else made this bug report. I've experienced this bug for the past 5 to 10 years, on every single distro that I've tried. For example, I just tried it on: - Kubuntu 19.04 - PopOS 18.10 (not a KDE DE, but I installed dolphin anyway). - Up-to-date KDE Neon It doesn't just affect one machine. It's the same on all the different computers I've used (at least 4 different machines: dell laptop, lenovo thinkpad, home built desktop, dell work computer). This is the single most frustrating bug that I've encountered. It affects my user experience every single day. (In reply to pietz from comment #10) > Oh yeah. You are right.

At least I have a good workaround now: make sure that my initial selection touches the file name. |
