[Beta] Ctrl+Click selects 2 files
1. Place a cursor on any entry in the panel.
2. Place the mouse cursor on any other entry in the same panel.
3. Press Ctrl+LeftMouseButton.
Both entries become selected. Bug?

Re: [Beta] Ctrl+Click selects 2 files
Confirmed in TC 6.55 PB1
XP PRO SP2
Bug? CTRL is used to click and select files. I guess it would work better like this:
If you entered a folder without selecting any file/folder, ctrl-click should only select one file/folder, the first time.
If you select a file/folder and then ctrl-click, both file should be marked.
Explorer work like this.

Hello !
• You might precise which mouse button you are using to select…
- I use always the left one, and when I click an item then click another in the opposite panel, the first mark disappears if I didn't press <SpaceBar> to select it before…
- I simply noticed that Ctrl+L-Clic acts here as <L-Click —> SpaceBar>, that can be useful, though.
- So, I don't see any bug here for the moment…
Kind regards,

My mouse selection mode is as in NC. That means that I normally use RMB. Does that mean that I can't use Ctrl+L-Click?
I've tried it just now: nothing depends on mouse selection mode. In Windows mode both files are selected.
BTW: I wasn't talking about any opposite panel. I meant ONE panel & I'll correct my first post a bit.

Confirmed.
I'm using the NC-Mode, too.
So I consider it a bug as I would not expect TC to select any file on Ctrl-leftclick nor on Shift leftclick.

I guess it all comes from fixing this bug.

Then you guessed wrong: This bug is reproducable with the older 'unfixed' versions, too.XPEHOPE3KA wrote:I guess it all comes from fixing this bug.

No, this isn't a bug, it's intentional! Why? If no file is selected, TC acts as if the file under the cursor is selected. When you Ctrl+Click on another file, BOTH will be selected - if you only wanted to select the other, a single click would have been sufficient!1. Place a cursor on any entry in the panel.
2. Place the mouse cursor on any other entry in the same panel.
3. Press Ctrl+LeftMouseButton.
Both entries become selected. Bug?
If already other files are selected and the cursor stands on a not selected file, Ctrl+Clicking will NOT select that other file together with the file you clicked on.
