Multi-selection behavior inconsistent with Windows Explorer

[konradsa]

Hi,

I think I noticed a bug when files are multi-selected with the mouse and are then opened via the keyboard. Specifically the following happens:

- I select something with the mouse so that it is shaded gray, but the little dotted keyboard selection box is around a different item
- I then push enter to open the item I recently selected with mouse, but the action acts on the item with the little dotted box

For instance, in the sample below, I push enter to open the xml file, but what actually happens is that FC switches to the parent folder. This behavior is different from the Windows Explorer, and I would expect that the keyboard action affects the item that was more recently selected with the mouse.

This bug was observed in FC2009.02 on XP SP3.

Actually, I realized the bug only happens when the first selection is a folder (including the folder up icon) or a zip file... I guess because zip files are treated as folders. When a different file other than a zip file is selected first, it seems to work as expected.
