Title: [SOLVED] Strange behaviour unselecting multiple movies
Post by: CAD on July 23, 2010, 01:18:21 am
Hi All,
I have noticed odd behavior when selecting and deselecting movies from movie list pane.

I am trying to go through my list and change the status of "Seen" to "Not-Seen"
I can "Control Select" movies to highlight different movies.
If I highlight a wrong movie, "Control Select(that movie again)" does not deselect it until I click on a different movie.
"Control Select(that movie again)" should deselect it

NB: The Deselection of the movie does not occur until I click on a different movie.
NB: "Shift Select" / "Shift Deselect" obeys standard windows controls.

I've noticed this, as well. But once I figured out it was actually deselecting the entry, I put it out of my mind, figuring it was just "one of those things".  ;)

Yup. Or a buglet. Maybe.

The problem is with the highlighting. Note that if an item is control-clicked again (i.e., to deselect it)—and then the list is scrolled—the highlighting is removed. So it must be some sort of refresh glitch.

Another strange behaviour is the case of the single selected item. Normally, the current movie (i.e., the one appearing in the info panel) is also selected in the list. As this illustrates, it doesn't have to be—it can be deselected. But if there are no items selected, the movie appearing in the info panel will always be treated as if it is selected. That is, any operation selected will be performed on it. I'm sure that's by design. And maybe the highlighting glitch is too—so no one will notice the inconsistency. ;D

Strange that it doesn't happen with "shift select"
suspect it is a buglet too (nice term btw) ;)
