Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.0 (20070326)

when you have more then one attachement in a mail, I would like to use standard Windows (possibly also standard in other OS) behavior of selecting multiple items either by clicking on each of them with ctrl pressed or clicking on first and last item with pressed shift which selects all items between them. In this version of mozilla its not possible to use shift+clicks method. 
When clicking on the second item with shift pressed,the selection is gone..
I don't know if it's also behavior of others TB versions, but I think not..

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open mail with multiple attachements
2.click on first one
3.shift+click on second one
Actual Results:  
nothing is selected

Expected Results:  
both items and ,if there is more, also items between the clicked ones should be selected

standard theme
extensions:
buttons!
minimize to tray

This is now working in upcoming tb3.
Reporter(Tomáš), please let us know if this should break again when TB3rc1 or final ships.

If you want to test before that, here's current 3.0pre:
