Here's a test case: 1) Create a new folder and create empty files with long names in it using the command: for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40; do touch "abcdef ghijklmn opqrstuvwxyz ABCDEF GHIJKLMN OPQRSTUVWXYZ$i.txt"; done 2) Open the folder in nautilus, hold Shift down and start selecting files by pressing the right arrow key. Everything goes fine up to the end of the first row. However, when you reach the first file on the second row and press the arrow key again (still holding Shift down), the selection jumps back to the second file of the first row. If you keep on pressing the arrow key, it will repeat the process over and over. So by pressing the right arrow key, you can never reach the end of the folder. As a user, I would expect nautilus to progress sequentially to the second file of the second row and so on up to the end of the folder. In the example, I used default font settings and 50 % zoom.
