Strange Ctrl-Click Behaviour in Revision History View
Created originally on Bitbucket by Anonymous
If I use the Revision Details task tab, the revision history view behaves as expected: *A click on a line selects the revision line (line is shown in white text on blue background). *A ctrl-click on another line selects this line in addition to the already selected line(s). *A ctrl-click on a selected line deselects it.
However, if I change to the Manifest task tab, the revision history view behaves differently: *A click on a line selects the revision line (ok). *A ctrl-click on another line does not select it, only a small dotted rectangle shows up between the graph and the revision number. *Another ctrl-click on the same line selects the line (in addition to the already selected line(s)). *Subsequent ctrl-clicks on the same line toggle the selection state of that line. *A ctrl-click on another line doesn't change the selection state of any line, only the dotted rectangle appears. *Another ctrl-click on the same other line toggles it selection state.
My impression is that the first ctrl-click sets the focus to a line, and only a ctrl-click on a line that already has the focus toggles the selection state, which is somewhat strange.
Another oddity: *If I select several revision lines while in the Revision Details task tab and then change to the Manifest task tab, most lines get deselected; only the line I had selected last stays selected. *If I select several revision lines while in the Manifest task tab and then change to the Revision Details task tab, all lines stay selected. I can even change back to the Manifest task tab, and all lines stay selected.
Admittedly this behaviour does't hurt too much, but it's rather strange and I can hardly believe its intentional.
