The expected behaviour for any multi-selection lists is the ability to select multiple non-adjacent items. For mouse users, this can be done with Ctrl+clicking on items (on Windows). The keyboard equivalent is Ctrl+cursor keys, then pressing space bar. The latter fails in new AB.
STR:
- Open ("new") Address Book
- Have 3 or more contacts A, B, C
- Select contact A (by mouse, keyboard-only has too many steps, another bug)
- Hold Ctrl while pressing cursor down 2 times
- Press Spacebar
Actual results:
- Nothing, contact A remains selected only
Expected results:
- Contacts A and C should be selected (keyboard equivalent of Ctrl+clicking)
- For the correct behaviour, try STR in contacts side bar of composition
This isn't totally urgent as long as it still works in Contacts Side Bar (which it currently does), but when it stops working there, this will be pretty limitating for users who depend on keyboard for accessibility and/or ux-efficiency.

The expected behaviour for any multi-selection lists is the ability to select multiple non-adjacent items. For mouse users, this can be done with Ctrl+clicking on items (on Windows). The keyboard equivalent is Ctrl+cursor keys, then pressing space bar, highly convenient and efficient. The latter fails in new AB, which is a deal-breaker for users depending on keyboard access.
