How to select several files with option "single click" set?

Post by ibx »

The subject says it all. I thought pressing Ctrl or Shift when selecting is a good idea, but I get a very strange result (with IceWM as window manager). There happens nothing for a while, then the file gets selected and if I move the mouse other items will get selected where the mouse is over. :o

I tried to understand what happens with 'single click' and here is my bug report:

When activating the 'single click' feature, selecting by CTRL or SHIFT doesn't work properly.

It isn't possible to select by pressing one of these keys down and clicking an item (like it does without 'single click'). After having pressed one of these keys, the mouse constantly hilights the respective items it is over. Now pressing CTRL or SHIFT will finally select the item, but the mouse doesn't stop hilighting other items when moved which is confusing and annoying.

Selection with CTRL and SHIFT should work identically with or without 'single click' enabled.
