Creating a file list doesn't always work correctly

to reproduce:

select an arbitray file

unselect the file by clicking somewhere in the free space of the panel.

Folder → Make folder/file list ...

Make folder list dialog appears and in the operation tab the checkbox "Include files and folders in sub folders" is greyed out. In the files tab the file name of the previously selected and unselected file is displayed.
The previously selected and unselected file is now selected in the panel.
The resulting file list only contains the one file.

Workaround: before creating a file list click once on Show parent folder ".."

I've observed that unselecting a file by clicking in the tab's free space doesn't release it completely from the selection. The file has an outline around it.

This is the current cursor position and not an error.
But the error creating a file list is confirmed.
