This is a sideeffect of the right-arrow navigation. Shift-selection is always supposed to select the items between the "anchor item" and the "cursor item". I can't think of another solution, except blocking shift+right on the last item in a row. > I had some observations about the selection rectangle itself, but > since the idea of a "rectangle of files" doesn't make sense to me, I > won't bother you with them.

I don't quite get what you mean here. > Matt Benedikt _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list [email protected] http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
