Created attachment 177630 [details] I can show two files being selected, in positions that shouldnt be possible to do so SUMMARY While on the desktop view, the user can make it so that it appears as if they have selected multiple icons, across different screens. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have multiple monitors 2. One screen1, select one icon by pressing the left click once 3. Move the mouse across to screen2, and select a different icon, using the left click once. OBSERVED RESULT The icon you selected at screen1 appears to still be selected, but has lost "focus", while the icon on screen2 is fully selected. EXPECTED RESULT The icon on screen1 should lose focus, as soon as the icon on screen2 is clicked.

Adding to the bug report, the issue is more general that previously mentioned. The problem derives from the fact that screens are treated separately as to what icons can be selected at a given moment. Thus, not only do multiple icon selections *appear* at the same time but they *are* selected at the same time. To prove that point, the user can make one selection on each screen, move the mouse across screens, and access those selections with actions like drag-and-move, right-click and copy/cut/delete and any other action available to selected desktop icons, without losing the selection made of the other screen.
I can easily replicate this on 6.2.5 and git-master Also note - clicking one icon and then another on the same screen results in only one icon being selected, therefore the behavior is different with icons on different screens
This bug happens because each desktop is it's own folderview and they do not know each other, so they can't share the selection state.
It looks like unfortunately there isn't a clean way to fix this, so for the moment we have to mark it as intentional behavior, sorry.
