Drawing a 'box' with the mouse to select multiple files won't work in 'View as Detailed List'. It works in 'View as Icons' mode. I know Nautilus doesn't have this, either, but Konqueror does. I think it makes sense to have it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start Thunar 2. switch to 'Detailed List' 3. try to draw a box over multiple files
We use a plain GtkTreeView for the detailed list view, and GtkTreeView does not support rubberband selection currently. The only way for us to add it would be some weird hack (for example ROX does this), but since we don't want hacks but solutions, this won't make it into Thunar until GtkTreeView supports it. You can file a feature request to the Gtk+ people.

Alright, I found the bug over at their bugzilla, it's : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138931 Let's hope they implement this sometime in the future...
Ok, marking as LATER then.
i think this could have been closed quite some time ago :)
Looks like a duplicate of bug #1996.
