I also have verified this update, on a Surface Pro 5. I hadn't noticed originally, but this also fixes scrolling vertically, which previously would be interrupted by the context menu in the same way.

The fix backports a patch from GNOME 47 to GNOME 46, which is now also backported to the upstream gnome-46 stable branch and queued up for when upstream will decide to make a new release. [ Test Case ] 1. Install the nautilus update being tested 2. Log-out and log-in (or reboot) 3. Open the Nautilus file manager 4. Drag from an empty space to start a rectangle selection 5. Verify that you could select multiple files/directories [ Regression Test Case ] 1. Long-press on an empty space 2. Verify that the context menu opens. [ Where problems could occur ] Either the long-press gesture or the touch-drag gesture may not work. The test cases will verify both. [ Other Info ] Do not be scared by the HACK and FIXME comments in the patch, they refer to adding functionality to Gtk rather than implementing possibly inefficient workarounds in Gtk apps like Nautilus.
