           Summary: Shift+Click selection of multiple files in open file
                    dialog broken
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: Jens.Rutschmann at gmx.de


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

When trying to select multiple files in the file open dialog (for example in
ark when adding files to an archive) the selection algorithm selects to many
files.
More specifically: 
In the file open dialog navigate to a directory containing at least that much
files to get two columns in the view.
In the left column click a file (let's call it file 1) with a short name (some
files above in that column need to have longer names)
Shift-Click any second file (file 2) in another column right of the first
selected file.
Then all files between file 1 and 2 will be added to the selection (correct
behavior)
Additionally all files above file 1 will be selected if they have longer names
than file 1.

See picture for a graphical explanation :-)

This is probably related to the same issue in dolphin, see bug #163451
