When nothing is selected, and you move the cursor up and down, the current 
item gets selected automatically.
If you select something with Ctrl+LMB, moving the cursor doesn't change the 
selection anymore. This is the implemented behaviour.
Moving around without explictely selecting something: always the current item 
is selected
Explicitely selecting something: the current item isn't automatically selected 
anymore, because that's probably not what the user intends. If it would be, 
it would mean he has to navigate on a selected item if he wants to do 
something, otherwise the selected items plus the current automatically 
selected items will be used for the action.
