Description Nick Edgar CLA 2002-06-11 00:37:37 EDT 
Build 20020610

- in Navigator, select a range of files using Click and Shift+Click
- skip a file and then select the next one using Ctrl+Click
- a few more items down, try to extend the selection without clearing the 
other selected items by using Ctrl+Shift+Click 
- it ignores the Shift and simply toggles selection of the last clicked item

I could have sworn this was working a while back (about a month ago).

As you know, the multi-select behavior is being emulated, since the native 
widget does not support it. I also thought this was left in reasonably good 
state, but I don't know if this case was working or not. SN to investigate.

The problem is that in the current implemenation, when both the control and 
shift keys are held down, the control is honoured first.  I took a quick look 
at fixing this in the past but there were lots of changes.  I would have to 
throw away the strategy I am using now to convince Windows to the multi-select 
for me requiring a rewrite.  At the time, I decide it wasn't worth it.

Just to be clear, both Ctrl and Shift work separately but when both are 
pressed, the tree honours Ctrl instead of Shift.

Can defer.
Comment 6 Steve Northover CLA 2002-08-19 15:27:36 EDT 
I don't think this one is worth fixing, given the amount of code that must 
change and the limited benefit.
