Build Identifier: Version: 3.4.0 Build id: I20080617-2000 In a SWT/JFace Table, you can select multiple items. On the Mac, to deselect the entire selection, you have to find an empty spot in the table widget and click there. This is very difficult to do when the widget occupies the entire composite/window. On Windows, clicking on a selected item will undo the entire selection. This is how the Mac Finder window works as well. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a Table with the multiple selection flag. Add multiple TableItems to it. 2. Click on the first item. Shift Click the last item. This will select the entire table. 3. Click on one of the already selected items. It should undo the entire selection but it does not do that currently.
Fascinating -- Carbon 3.6 has this behavior as well. Cocoa does not, however, so the odds of this being fixed are very low. If you can move to Cocoa that would be your best solution.
Wouldn't this be a duplicate of 108328?
Carbon is not a supported platform anymore.
