On my G5, 10.4.8, when I am trying to select multiple items in the Finder in column view, it just doesn't work the way it should.
The way it should work- I select one folder by clicking on it. Then I shift click on the last item that I want and everything in between also gets selected. Easy. This works for me if the first and last items are visible in the same window without having to scroll down.
The way it doesn't work- Same as above except the last item I want is about 1,000 folder down and when I shift-click on the last item I want, nothing in between is selected, in fact ONLY the last item I click is selected. It acts as if I didn't shift-click at all. It's annoying as heck because then I have to scroll all the way back to find the original item, then shift-click some intermediary item, then go to the end and shift-click that one. I just always remember this working fine in the past.
