Click on a file about half way down the listing.

Hold Shift and press the down-arrow a few times. Selection extends downwards, great.

Now whilst continuing to hold Shift, press the Up arrow.

Selection EXTENDS UPWARDS from the originally-clicked file, rather than DE-SELECTING the most recently selected of the files at the bottom of the list.

So when I'm selecting more than a screen's height of files, I can quickly auto-scroll from top to bottom, over-shoot by one or two, but then can't remove the overshot ones, because pressing UP selects more, going the other way.

I think it's totally daft, and counter-intuitive.

Or is it just another of those things that's only annoying if it works counter to what you're used to?
