Bug 3714

Summary: TreeView (Explorer view) does not support Ctrl-Shift-click.
Product: platform Reporter: Jesse Glick <jglick>
Component: ExplorerAssignee: David Strupl <dstrupl>
Status: CLOSED WONTFIX    
Severity: normal

Description Jesse Glick 1999-09-07 01:11:52 UTC 
Ctrl-Shift-Click should extend an additional selection in a tree explorer, e.g.:

+Parent
 |
+--Child1
|
+--Child2
|
+--Child3
|
+--Child4
|
+--Child5
|
+--Child6
|
+--Child7

User clicks Child1, shift-clicks Child3, so now [123] are selected. Ctrl-clicks Child5, so now [1235]. Ctrl-shift-click Child7 should cause [123567] to be selected, but instead this behaves as Ctrl-cl

ick, i.e. only [12357] are selected. This is in conflict with the normal selection behavior of these modifiers.

Maybe a Swing problem?

"Reminded" that this exists.
Comment 2 Jan Chalupa 2001-05-06 08:13:40 UTC 
Target milestone -> 3.3

Target milestone -> 3.3.1.
Comment 4 David Strupl 2002-01-31 16:55:35 UTC 
Selection is completely handled by Swing ...
If you think we should implement it please reopen. Otherwise JDK is
the proper place IMHO.

See BugTraq #4656461.
Comment 6 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 16:08:20 UTC 
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
