Summary:                    Selecting files bug, major problem when deleting stuff
Description: 
When you select a new file, if you hold down your mouse and move it up /
down it will select the file you had selected previously too. Just deleted
accidentally an important file because of this (used APPLY TO ALL), fix it
asap.

The reselection occurs because of the multiple files selection method used
for drag and drop. If you do not release the mouse button after selecting
a file, the previous selection will be reselected, allowing you to select
multiple files easily for drag an drop or another operation (like
delete).

This might be a problem for some, so the multiple file selection mode can
be toggled back to the normal gtk way of multiple selecting. This option
is not in the 4.0 branch because it requires a translation, but you can
find it in 4.1 at CVS HEAD.
