Highlighting in the thumbnail view

[Tobias Leupold]

Hi list :-)

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature ...

When opening the thumbnail view, the first thumbnail is highlighted by a semi-
transparent blue mask. It seems like this one is selected, but it isn't; when
e. g. pressing CTRL+1, nothing happens. One has to click the thumbnail to
select it, which adds a blue frame. If multiple images are selected, all get
both the frame and the mask. If one clicks somewhere where's no thumbnail, the
frame(s) disappear(s), but the mask for the last selected image stays. Again,
the image seems not to be selected, as no action can be done to it (unless
it's clicked again).

Why do we have that "double-selection"?

Yours, Tobias

Hi Tobias,

Thanks for the info - I missed this when testing a patch for another problem.
It's a regression introduced by me yesterday. The blue mask is not the
selection, but just the "cursor". The actually selected images do have an
additional blue frame.

The reason for the change was a more keyboard-friendly view. When selecting
Images using Ctrl-Space and the cursor keys you were previously Navigating "in
the dark". The change fixed that and introduced the permanent Cursor
indication.

I'll see if I can fix both use-cases...
