Title:
  no selection marker when using keyboard only to select multiple files
  on icon & compact view mode

Status in Nautilus:
  Expired
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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?
