Certainly multi-select and right-click-to-select can both work with a
the menu, no?  With Nautilus, Rhythmbox, etc, right-click moves the
selection, but that doesn't prevent you from selecting multiple items
and using right-click to interact with the whole group.  But I haven't
been using GTG for very long, so maybe its multi-select works
differently, and I'm just not understanding...?

Right click on a task doesn't change the selection

Status in Getting Things GNOME!: Incomplete

Bug description:
If a task is selected, right-clicking on a different task doesn't change the selection.  For example:

Create "task 1" and "task 2."  Left-click on "task 1" to select it.  Now right-click on "task 2" to bring up the context menu.  The selection stays with "task 1," so any actions you choose from the context menu will apply to "task 1," even though you specifically right-clicked on "task 2."

Obviously this is not a big problem, but it seems a little awkward to require an extra left-click before you can get to an item's context menu.  This is also inconsistent with other GTK+ list views.

Using GTG 0.2.4 with Ubuntu 10.04.
