Unable to select multiple files at the same time

[Johndoe112]

When selecting multiple files on the "content" tab while holding down "shift" key, the selection of all files dissapear and only the file which is being clicked on is selected - which means that all other files have to be clicked on separately.

Could this be a bug or just missing feature?

Multiple selection works fine for me in content tab. I'm unable to reproduce. I tried both SHIFT and CTRL.

It seems that the multiple selection seems to work fine when using multipe selection on the torrents itself(clicking twice content tab), but when selecting multiple files in torrent it doesn't.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Highlight a torrent which has multiple files in it - go to content tab to see all the files on the torrent. - UNcheck all the files on the torrent. - Select multiple files with the shift key and try to check them. -It seems to only select the file you clicked on and unselect all the rest.

If you do a left click, then of course if will unselect the other torrents.

If you understand correctly, the thing you should do is:

1. Select multiple torrent
2. Right click > Do not download

Im not sure if you understood this correctly. Problem is this: Im looking at torrent content. I have unchecked all the files. Now i want to check 3 files at the same time. I shift select the 3 files, now they are highlighted, I click the checkbox in order to have these 3 selected files to start download at the same time. But this does not happen. Only the one file behind the checkbox I clicked on is selected and other 2 files which i had selected are not highlighted anymore.

Do not left click on the checkbox. Right click on the selected torrents and set their priority to normal.

Yes that seems to work. I'm wondering if adding an option to left click could be added? This is the way it works in previous clients I used (Bitcomet, uTorrent) - It's also a bit faster and simpler that way as you don't have to navigate through menus using a mouse.
