Cannot select more than two adjacent objects in the "Layers and Objects" dialog using Shift key

Summary:

On the "Layers and Objects" dialog: 👉️ you cannot select more than two adjacent objects using Shift key. 👉️ You can select multiple objects using Ctrl key.

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • create 3 objects
  • Object > Layer and Objects dialog
  • Under "Layer 1" try to select the first, second, and third objects using the Shift key.

What happened?

When you select the first and the second objects you cannot select the third object while pressing the Shift key. (But you can still be able to select all objects by clicking on the first object then clicking on the third object while pressing the Shift key, this will select all the objects between them).

What should have happened?

  • It should select more than two adjacent objects. The selection issue is solved when you press the Ctrl key, but I don't know if this is deliberately chosen or a bug.
