            Bug ID: 324665
           Summary: shift+click multi-select doesn't work properly across
                    columns in open dialog
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.11.0
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: mark at battlesnake.co.uk

I click on a file at the bottom of a column in an open dialog.  I then
shift+click on a file in the next column.  I would expect this to select all
files inclusively between* the two that I clicked on.
*"between" in the sort order (in this case, by name), not by position on the
screen as a click+drag select would do

Instead, a seemingly random selection of files are selected.  The selection is
deterministic in that if I repeat the process, attempting to select the same
range of files as before, then the same buggy selection is produced.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch an open dialog which permits multi-select (e.g. Kate->open)
2. click on a file in one column
3. shift+click on a file in another column
4. files outside the desired range are selected
Actual Results:  
Files outside the desired range are selected

Expected Results:  
Files inside the desired range, and only those files should be selected

Potential security issue if someone doesn't realise that they're attaching the
wrong files to an email.
