When you select a new file, if you hold down your mouse and move it up / down
it will select the file you had selected previously too. Just deleted
accidentally an important file because of this (used APPLY TO ALL), fix it
asap.
Comment 1 edscott editbugs 2004-02-03 19:51:14 CET
The reselection occurs because of the multiple files selection method used for
drag and drop. If you do not release the mouse button after selecting a file,
the previous selection will be reselected, allowing you to select multiple
files easily for drag an drop or another operation (like delete).

This might be a problem for some, so the multiple file selection mode can be
toggled back to the normal gtk way of multiple selecting. This option is not in
the 4.0 branch because it requires a translation, but you can find it in 4.1 at
CVS HEAD.

The selection method works this way. In xffm 4.1 you can choose to use normal
GTK selection method. This option was added but removed from 4.0.x because it
involved a new translation in the options menu.
