Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:

Login in to a Wayland session
Open Nautilus
*TOUCH* on some white space beneath the files
Notice that you get a rubber-band select from the first item (top left) to 
where you touched.
Touch on a file/folder in the top right, and touch white space somewhere 
beneath the files. 
Notice that the rubberband still starts at the top left.

I think that users would expect the same functionality as when using
with a mouse, i.e. the selected files would be deselected.

I've attached a video to try and show this.  Generally Nautilus with
touch is a bit odd.
