Yes, exactly: And when the user clicks a slide - whether they're adding it to a
selection or just creating a single-slide selection (no-shift clicking) - they
expect to see it.

I didn't understand your last two sentences. How does slide pane enlargement
relate to slide clicking

Are you sure? This clip:

suggests otherwise (although it uses Ctrl+Click, not Shift+Click).

No-Shift clicking shows the slide, so it's robust/consistent for with-Shift
clicking to show the slide. So, if showing the slide is "not calm" - we should
be consistently uncalm.
