I am suprised multiselection is used at all. I could not get it to select what I want.

I can only select one item, shift-click for another item and all items between are selected, too.

And deselecting items in between is not possible.

(Tested on Windows platform). Does multiselection (doing multiple select/deselect) working on

a Mac?

The problem is that the drag and the selection are both triggered by mouse down.

NewList fixes this by triggering drag on mousedown, and select on mouseup

From the issue:

The workflow is awkward. It has been reported before, but still doesn't
feel quite right.

Use case: I'm hunting around for methods to re-categorize. I click this
one, that one, another one. Okay, that's everything I need. I mouse down
(whether Cmd is still pressed or not), to begin dragging my multiple
selection, and the item I clicked on is de-selected, and so not included
if I start dragging.

I checked in the Mac Finder, and the way it works is that it processes
drags on mouse down, but [de]selection on mouse up. This works much
better. If I click a selected item to drag, it works, but if I release the
mouse without dragging, it toggles the selection - much more useable.

Cheers,
