Selecting of documents in the tree --> always 1 too much

Post by Tester »

As far as I see, this seems to be a bug:

Whenever I select one ore more document(s) in the tree, the program tells me that I have selected one in addition (namely the one under the last that I indeed selected).

Here are two examples:

a) I have selected one document (= the one with blue background), but the programm tells me that two were selected:

b) I have selected four documents, but the programm tells me that five were selected:

This issue is not of mere theoretical but of big practical importance:
Whatever I make with the selected documents affects also the "additional" one. E.g. when I want to delete 4 "really" selected documents, a 5th document will be deleted too!

The reason for this is that MyInfo considers the focused document (the one with the dotted rectangle around it) selected too. So if the focused document is counted as selected, even if it is not visually selected. I agree that this could be confusing and probably in the next major versions this will be changed.
