Bug Description

After selecting one file and holding the shift-key I want to modify the selection range without worrying where exactly to click.

Reproduction Steps

  • create 5 files
  • select file no. 2
  • hold shift-key

now I want to select file no. 4 as end of my selection range.

Expected Outcome

list view: anywhere I click in a list row the click is interpreted as selection-range modification
tiles view: anywhere I click on a tile the click is interpreted as selection-range modification

important in both: we don't suppress the default browser behaviour of opening links (a tag) in a new browser windows on shift+click. This happens in addition to the selection range modification.

Actual Outcome

list view:

  • click on checkbox toggles only the selection of the clicked file, doesn't modify the selection range
  • click on filename opens the file in viewer or editor, doesn't modify the selection range

tiles view:

  • click on checkbox modifies the selection range
  • click on icon (or preview, if the file has one) or file name opens the file in viewer or editor, doesn't modify the selection range
  • click on whitespace in the tile doesn't do anything
