            Bug ID: 470344
           Summary: Shift-right-clicking a file selection changes the
                    selection if it was created with a shift-click
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 23.04.1
          Platform: Archlinux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED

SUMMARY

(Note: I use left click = main click, right click = alternative click in this
report. This is the default mouse behavior.)

If you are trying to permanently delete some files, it's common to hold down
shift while opening the right click (context) menu to show the delete option
(instead of "move to trash"). If you select a bunch of files by clicking and
dragging a selection box over them, and then shift-right-click anywhere on the
selection, the selection doesn't change (expected behavior). However if you
create a selection with a shift-click, the shift-right-click incorrectly
"updates" the selection as if you had shift-clicked before opening the context
menu.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select one file in dolphin.
2. Hold down shift and left click on a different file. All files from the first
selected file to the now selected file (inclusive) will now be selected.
3. Hold down shift again, and right click on a file in the middle of the
selection created in step 2. 

OBSERVED RESULT

A context menu opens, but the selected files change. The files selected will be
the files that *would* have been selected if the click in step 3 had been a
left click (or the same files that would be selected if step 2 was skipped).

EXPECTED RESULT

A context menu opens, and the selected files do not change. This would exactly
mirror the behavior when shift-right-clicking a selection created by click and
drag.
