Multiple Selection is not enforced after setting flag in the selection model. [message #1085032]

Hi!

i have set the multiple selection in nattable as false, through selection model like,

selectionlayer.getSelectionModel().setMultipleSelectionAllowed(false);

when i try to select multiple rows using "ctrl" key, it is not allowed and previous selection gets unselected and it restrain multiple selection but
when i select rows consecutively using mouse or using "shift" key then multiple selection is not enforced.

So, my question, is it a bug or work as designed?, if it is work as designed and no built in support is provided then it means i should listen to selection event and perform this mechanism manually to enforce multiple selection as not allowed?,

Regards,
SD Khan

Sounds like a bug which is related to inspecting the multipleSelectionAllowed flag. Haven't investigated it much but it is only inspected in addSelectionIntoList() which is getting a Rectangle to select. I guess selecting holding the mouse key or the shift key pressed will call this method susequently using a greater Rectangle, but using the original starting points.

I guess the solution could be to inspect that flag in the commands that perform the selection and respectively transform the Rectangle according to it.

Could you please open a ticket and link to this thread?
