As far as I recall, it used to select the new set  (from last 
(ctrl)-click to this shift-click) while keeping the old selection (with 
the Ctrl)

at least in windows it works like this
click          #select 1
shift-click       #select batch between 1 and this click
Ctrl-click       #select another while keeping above selection
shift-ctrl-click   #select second batch between last ctrl-click and this 
one while keeping first selection

At least for my setup the last click just ignores the shift, and selects 
only the clicked, so I end up with click to shift-click, plus 
ctrl-click, plus shift-ctrl-click
and I wanted click to shift-click plus ctrl-click _to_ shift-ctrl-click
