The context menu (right click) was designed to execute the item you click on and
ignore any checkboxes that were selected. Using the Run Selected menu item or
the Run button means "Execute the selected tests."

We could discuss changing this feature, but I'm personally doubtful because it
makes sense that a context menu refers to the item on which you right-clicked.

That's not absolutely true. If any of the 90 tests include an entire
fixture you can
check the fixture. If any set includes all tests in a namespace, you can check
the namespace.

However, being able to check a range of items would be a handy feature and
has been requested before. Also, being able to select a range of items and
multiple items has been requested and would allow us to eliminate check
boxes entirely. Another request that applies here is that checking a test
with child tests would automatically check all those children.

All of these are in our future plans but none have (yet) been scheduled
for 2.6 - nobody spoke up for them so far!

Title:
  multiple Checkbox select can not be run

Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework:
  New

Bug description:
  Bug:
  It has not been possible for my to select some test cases (ex. test case 3 out of 10) and only run selected test cases by marking in checkboxes. 

  New feature:
  It could be nice to have the functionality to enable/disable multiple checkboxes by marking more check boxes by (as in Total Commander).
