Public bug reported:
[The bug]
File selection by the “Select Items Matching” tool doesn't work in Files
(Nautilus) when the view mode is set to “View items as list”. When the pattern
containing * or ? is entered in the “Select Items Matching” dialogue, only one
item matching the pattern is selected instead of all matching items. The
selection works fine in “View items as a grid of icons” mode.
[Test case]
1. Open a folder in Nautilus containing, for example, several pdf files.
2. Switch to “View items as list” mode by pressing Ctrl+1 or by View -> List or
by pressing the corresponding button in the right part of the toolbar.
3. Open the “Select Items Matching” dialogue by pressing Ctrl+S or by Edit ->
Select Items Matching...
4. Enter the string “*.pdf” (without quotes) into the “Pattern” input field of
the “Select Items Matching” dialogue. Press OK.
[What is expected]
All the pdf files in the folder should be selected.
[What happens]
Only one pdf file is selected.
