           Summary: Shift+click : select by rows, and not by retangle
           Product: konqueror
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konq-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: sebastien.laout tuxfamily org


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.1KDE 1.2)

Go to a directory with several folders or files.
Let say that one :

a b c d e f
g h i j k l
m n o p q r
s t

Then focus a first item (c) :

a b*c*d e f
g h i j k l
m n o p q r
s t

And press Shift+KeyDown and then Shift+KeyRight :

a b*c*d*e*f*
g*h*i*j*k l
m n o p q r
s t

Items c to j are selected.
Normal and expected !

Now, unselect all and click c (as before) :

a b*c*d e f
g h i j k l
m n o p q r
s t

Press Shift and CLICK item j.
What's up ?
A RECTANGLE (c,d,i,j) is selected :

a b*c*d*e f
g h*i*j*k l
m n o p q r
s t

1/ It's not consistent with keyboard Shift selection.
2/ BUT it's also not expected at all !!!
3/ Because if we want to select contigus files it is because they are alphabetically \
sorted (or another sort) : so we want also to select items e, f, g and h. And because \
if we resize the window, select a rectangle from c will select other items : no \
logical reasonment in that. 4/ If we want a rectangle, we can click an empty space \
little more on top and more on left of item c and drag a rectangle until j.

That's all.
I hope I'm understanded with the "pictures" :-)
