Steps to reproduce
- On Windows, press and hold the Alt-key while clicking on multiple different files in the file navigation.
- Right-click on one of the selected items (not the first one) to bring up the context menu.
- Select, e.g. “Move n items to…” or “New folder with selection”
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide?
Yes, I did!
Expected result
All items clicked while holding the Alt-key will be added to the current file selection.
Actual result
All items except the one that was clicked first are added to the current file selection.
It’s possible to work around the issue by clicking the first item twice. Still this seems to be a bug.

Additional information
Well, expected behavior on Windows would be that the Ctrl-key triggers the multi-select behavior, not the Alt-key. If that could be considered a kind of side quest to this bug, that would likely be much appreciated not only by me, but the entire Windows community.
