Description Kevin Haaland CLA 2001-10-10 22:26:56 EDT 
Normally, the user can select a group of adjacent elements using the shift key and the mouse in the packages 
and navigator window. However,

1. Choose an element using the KEYBOARD.
2. CLICK another element while holding down shift.
3. Notice that it doesn't highlight the group of elements, but just deselects the previous one and selects the new one.

Such characteristic forces the user to select the first element using the mouse only. Notice that Windows Explorer
works either way.

NOTES:
This might have to do with SWT....

Can this defect be closed?
Comment 3 Nick Edgar CLA 2002-01-22 11:39:32 EST 
Still occurs in 20020115.

This is an SWT problem.  With the recent changes for keyboard navigation in 
Tree, can this be addressed?
