SUMMARY
The Ctrl+click multi-selection feature doesn't work when the mouse is moving. This is a fairly severe usability papercut.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Hold down the Ctrl key.
2. Left click on a file while the mouse is not perfectly still. (even slight movement is enough)

OBSERVED RESULT
The file takes the "outline" (whatever it's called) but it is not selected.

EXPECTED RESULT
The file is selected.

clicking without ctrl held

Contrast this with the behavior of just clicking, without holding the Ctrl key: Files are selected correctly, regardless of the mouse moving.
