[jira] Commented: (PIVOT-369) Bad UE dragging multiple selected items in ListView

["Todd Volkert (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-369?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12793447#action_12793447 ] 

Todd Volkert commented on PIVOT-369:
------------------------------------

Heh.  Well, "bad" could be rephrased "breaks the convention that Windows Explorer, Mac OS X Finder, and Nautilus (Linux) use -- whereby selecting multiple items [then dragging the selection] drags multiple items", but that would have been overly verbose.  For instance, imagine selecting multiple files in Mac OS X Finder, then trying to drag them to the trash, but finding that only one can be dragged at a time.  Not trying to be presumptuous, but I'd call that bad.

>             Project: Pivot
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: wtk
>    Affects Versions: 1.4
>            Reporter: Todd Volkert
>             Fix For: 2.0

>
> Steps to reproduce:
> 1) Create a list view with selectMode="multi", and attach a drag source to it.
> 2) Select multiple items, then click to drag the selection out of the list view.
> Expected behavior:
> You expect the multiple items to be dragged
> Actual result:
> Upon mouse down, the selection is reset to be a single item, causing you to drag just one item.
> Workaround:
> If you hold down CTRL or SHIFT as you begin your drag, you can kind of work around this issue, but that is obviously a less-than-ideal user experience.
> Note that this could affect TableView and TreeView as well, though they weren't tested as part of this ticket.
