File Selection

Post by xanthareel »

There's a selection error where if I click a file to open or rename or just select it, it's added to multiple selected files instead of selecting the 1 file. I attached a video of the error (in a .zip cause I can't attach videos). I know you can't see it but I'm not hitting CTRL, it's just acting like I am. Can this be fixed so that it behaves like normal?

It seems that your CTRL key is stuck, sometimes it happens on my system. Pressing and releasing both CTRL keys can help. Or press Ctrl+Alt+Del then Esc.

Unfortunately I tried both of those and they didn't work. Also File Explorer and the bottom pane of XYplorer are working fine, just the top pane is having these selection issues, so it makes me think the CTRL key isn't stuck. See video of this if it's confusing.

I checked that and it's turned off just like sticky checkbox is.

Also the video shows both panes operating differently when selecting files. These settings change both panes to have the same behavior.

It might be helpful if we knew if you're using the 32bit or 64bit along with the version number.

The "Sticky Selection" toggle acts separately per pane.

Thanks that was it! I didn't realize the setting was separate for each pane. Also what's the difference between the 2 settings Sticky Selection and Sticky Checkbox Selection?
