Bug description

According to the announcement blog post for Nextcloud 28, the files app now has "Better selection handling (shift + select to select range)".

However, this is not working for me.

Steps to reproduce

Open the Files app
Click on a file's empty check box to select the first file (NOT holding Shift)
Click on another file's empty check box to while holding Shift

Expected behavior

The file range should be selected.

Actual behaviour

When clicking on the second file when holding Shift, nothing happens. The second file is not even individually selected.

Not only this functionality is gone but also other ways like: #17313 (comment)
I do not find any way to select a file rang in a folder with many files except for individually selecting every single file or all files at once.

skjnldsv · 2023-12-27T15:27:47Z

Hmmm, this was working during 28 development, let me have a look

skjnldsv · 2023-12-27T15:31:12Z

Ah, broken on firefox. Chrome works! ~~Fix incoming~~

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=559506: 14 years ago
Amazing!

hede5562 · 2023-12-27T16:07:06Z

Oh, yes @skjnldsv, you're right, it seems to be specific for Firefox. So my current workaround is to use Chromium.

Will there be a fix for Firefox? As clicking the name instead of the checkbox worked before with old Nextcloud versions. Nevertheless Mozilla should fix Firefox' behavior also. But if something didn't get fixed within 14 years I don't think they will do so in the near future. ;-)

Btw. do you really think the Mozilla bug is applicable here? The bug is for "shift+click on a label for a checkbox" while here with Nextcloud it's shift-clicking the checkbox itself what's not working in Firefox (but works in chrome as expected).

Yeah, this is precisely the issue.
We use a custom checkbox which we spend a lot of time making aria compliant (accessibility)
And that involve using a nested label and input checkbox.

Unfortunately the bug is here since 14 years in Firefox and, having spent a bit of time digging around, we're not the only one being annoyed by this.

We'll try to find a workaround for Firefox as this mus be resolved without breaking accessibility handling.

Is there a way to get range selection from a mobile or tablet browser without a physical keyboard?

damnshaneisthatu · 2024-10-07T17:40:36Z

Is this still working on Chrome? Because I cannot get it to work on any browsers now.

khlschrnk · 2024-10-21T13:34:26Z

Same here, since nextcloud 30 I am also not able to select multiple files anymore, independent from the browser. Can this issue be reopened?

hede5562 · 2024-10-21T16:13:42Z

Same here.
Even if it feels like a regression, it's probably a new Bug.
(I think it's a different problem because this time it's not only hitting firefox but also chromium)
