            Bug ID: 14839
           Summary: A bunch of files have been selected, however ALL files
                    have been deleted!!!
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Thunar
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC (x86_64)
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: Desktop
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org

  Target Milestone: 1.8.3

Hi,
1. I've selected a bunch of files within a thunar's tab (the right tab)
2. Then I've opened a terminal within the directory (of the selected files) on
the (left) tree-view tab via the right-click
3. And changed the permissions (it was R/O) to the directory: chmod u+w .
    There was some flushing within the thunar's tab, however ONLY the files I
wanted have been still selected, so it has seemed there's the focus on the tab
with the selected files
--- and there I see the problem just here ---
4. I've pressed the Del key and and clicked on the OK button (overlooking that
there actually was the NAME OF THE DIRECTORY from the left panel mentioned,
although it seemed NOT to have a focus)
5. So ALL files have been deleted, as it tried to delete the (whole) directory


I'd say this is a pretty unexpected result as a user can see files still
selected within the right tab.
