After selecting files via pattern selection Thunar yields an unexpected behavior. Pressing one of the arrow keys after this should 1) make Thunar scroll to the first of the selected files and 2) actually select the files in the desired direction relative to those just selected files (relative to the first selected one should be fine). This includes additional selections done via [Shift] key. Currently Thunar keeps the current view and selects the next possible file in that view.
Implemented scrolling and setting the cursor in Thunar in commit 77c7dba In exo the anchor item was not set, done in exo in commit 9c5d44d, but it will always be a tiny bit strange with a selection with holes.
