Re: [Evolution] Cannot select several contacts simultaneously when composing new message

[David Aveiro <david peakcottage com>]

Thanks for the info Phil, I just filed this problem as a bug:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320504

Evo hackers, please put a little effort on this regression that
shouldn't be complicated to solve (simple GUI issue apparently) and that
bogs down usability.

The use of SHIFT and CTRL keys to do multiple selections in selectors is
a must have for any application to make it usable.

Best regards,
David
