Title: no selection marker when using keyboard only to select multiple files on icon & compact view mode Status in Nautilus: Incomplete Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus first go to any folder with various files/folders in it using nautilus. suppose i want to select multiple files/folders using keyboard cursor keys. if i select a file and then press CTRL + cursor keys to navigate to another file/folder to select i would expect a selection box or marker (or some sort of visual cue) to follow my movement using cursor keys so that i can select more desired file/folder by pressing SPACEBAR. but no such cue appears, which makes selecting multiple files/folder difficult. the selection works when SPACEBAR is pressed, but you have to guess which file/folder will be selected upon pressing the SPACEBAR key. this problem only occurs while nautilus is in ICON and COMPACT view mode. in LIST view mode a selection marker (faint orange color) does appear while moving using cursor keys. selecting single file/folder works, the marker is gone only in additional file/folder selection process using keyboard. is this a bug and if it is then is there a fix available?
