Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
When you have a list of files selected in Nautilus, and you hold CTRL to
select a new file, then hold CTRL+SHIFT to select another file, Nautilus
does behaves as if you were only holding CTRL on the last file. It
should select a new range of files, but doesn't.
Example:
We have the files File1 to File9 sorted by name in a list.
1. Select File1 with the mouse
2. Hold SHIFT and select File4 with the mouse
You now have File1 through File4 selected
3. Hold CTRL and select File6
4. Hold CTRL+SHIFT and select File9
You should have File1 to File4 and File6 to File9 selected at this
point, because CTRL+SHIFT should select a new set without losing the
first set. But Nautilus has missed File7 and File8 because it's only
selecting as if you were holding CTRL.
Any intuitive list selection should work like this, and in Windows
Explorer and other file managers, it works this way.
