Hi,

I confirm this behavior in both pre 2.11.x and 2.11.x
I agree with you, we should go back to the previous behavior.
I checked in Nautilus, for example, and it's the same behavior as pre 2.11.x
It's true that with the block selection, it's hard to select a range of
images.
Plus there's no more list view as workaround.

It's probably a config in the browser view component.
Paolo will tell us.

Cheers,
Matthias
