Irrespective of how I think about the neglect for singleclick usage by this change, multi-selection using Ctrl is broken. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. select one or more files 2. hold Ctrl and try to select additional files OBSERVED RESULT dolphin will perform a file drag operation of the existing selection irrespective if you try to click on additional files or use the click-to-drag workaround that is already (by the linked change) necessary to get focus or deselect single files. EXPECTED RESULT be able to add make disjointed multi file selections.

Hmm, I cant reproduce. Ctrl multi selection in dolphin in single click mode works as expected.

I have created a merge request that fixes this bug, if I am understanding it correctly: https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/369 (Weird that this bug report wasn't notified automatically just by me mentioning it in the commit message like usual.)
(In reply to Felix Ernst from comment #2) > (Weird that this bug report wasn't notified automatically just by me > mentioning it in the commit message like usual.) That didn't work for me in the last few bugs either.
Can confirm that. Probably worth a ping to sysadmins or Harald directly, as IIRC he's the one who implemented it.
Git commit 2de8f4c0fb2141f68400327a4f87eefa71d81e3c by Felix Ernst. Committed on 04/04/2022 at 12:39. Pushed by felixernst into branch 'release/22.04'. Improve details mode ctrl-press rubberband creation Since d3839617193e92463806580699caa595c892b8a6 dragging the highlighted row of already selected items in the details view mode will begin a drag operation of all selected items. As a unintended side-effect of this change, dragging the row of a previously unselected item while holding the control key would also begin a drag operation. After this commit, dragging the row of a previously unselected item while holding the control key in details view mode will instead create a rubberband. Ctrl-dragging the item's icon or text directly will drag the item as expected. With this change, using multiple rubberbands to select scattered items among a list of items should be as convenient as it was previously.
