select multiple nodes with shift + arrow key not working in scene tree? might be windows 11 related?

[RichardEllicott]

Tested versions

Godot 4.4.1 stable
Godot 4.3 stable

System information

Windows 11, have just upgraded due to EOL on windows 10

Issue description

i cannot select multiple nodes in the scene tree with shift + arrow up... a common way of selecting multiple nodes? i thought (however, shift plus click still works)

now i just upgraded to win 11, please someone with a different OS check this, i may have found a Win 11 UI bug, i may be mistaken... i remember this working before it's the same on most ui's say you're windows file explorer shift+an arrow highlights a block of files/folders without needing to use the mouse... this is great if you only have one working arm

much appreciated would be people with different OS to confirm if they can do this

this image shows how what multiple selection means, here i selected by dragging a box in the 3d view, works, also clicking in scene tree at one position, clicking at another with shift held, works

Steps to reproduce

select node in scene tree
hold shift, press up arrow

does it highlight multiple nodes?

Minimal reproduction project (MRP)

new_game_project.zip

project simply contains some nodes, not required to test this just add some nodes to a scene

Can you please crop your screenshot, it includes the web browser which clutters the image

Can't replicate in Windows 11, is the scene tree focused? If it isn't focused it won't work, but it's not clear from your description what you are doing

But it works fine for me in 4.5.dev [9a39760], can test in 4.4.1 as well if the scene tree is in fact focused (if you select in the 3D view it won't work, but that's by design as the scene tree isn't focused)

yes focused, now testing with one monitor (screenshot clearer) and scaling at 100% two settings others might not have, same issue:

shift+arrows (not working)

shift and use mouse to click (working)

possible "gremlin" bug then (my os or settings), i might try a vm or wsl.... any os specifics that could affect the ui?

[AThousandShips]

Not sure, might be something in the OS preventing it, will test with 4.4.1 to check

[RichardEllicott]

i have the issue on 4.3 stable also, so not too hopeful you will get the same thing unfortunatly

This is a new feature in 4.5, see:

• Add tree multiselect with shift up & down arrow keys #103382

So this was not implemented in 4.4.1, this feature will be available starting with 4.5.stable

Closing as this is a (previously) missing feature that will be in 4.5

that is excellent i didn't realize, tested 4.5 beta .... works fine
