I'm not a huge fan of that particular UI gesture, but I can see how some people might find it valuable. I don't think it necessarily belongs in TerraListViewSkin, though. It could be implemented as a Pivot "extra" - a sort of stock handler for this type of feature.

After a quick look at the multi-select TreeView in KitchenSink 1.5.2, it doesn't seem to support either of the above 2 methods, only CTRL+LEFT CLICK I suggest that you add a new ticket in JIRA targeting v2.1. We will soon be starting the 2.0 release process, so only really plan to make bug fixes before then.

I understand now that PIVOT-369 was about selecting multiple items and _then_ dragging them to some other destination. I'm talking about a different functionality: the ability to select multiple items with the mouse by holding down the mouse button. You can try this for instance on the JIRA Find Issues web page https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa : The field "Project" is a multi-select list. Select any item with left mouse click first, than drag and hold the left mouse button and move down: more items will be selected. This works at least in Firefox and IE, but not in Chrome currently. I'd really like to see this feature in Pivot for all *View components when multi-select is enabled, because it seems to be a pretty common UI functionality. Dirk.
