Shift select across open group bug

[stoosh]

Hello

When I am selecting layers using shift select when a group is collapsed, the selection range is accurate. However, when I select across an open group, an addition layer is selected.

When you Shift+click on a layer on the canvas the clicked layer will either be added to the layer selection, if it’s not already selected, or removed from the layer selection, if it’s already selected.

When you Shift+click on a layer in the Layers Panel, the layer clicked on and any layers between that layer in the Layer Stack and the first layer which was clicked on will be selected and all other layers will be deselected. (It gets a bit more complicated if there are ‘gaps’ between the selected layers, and/or selecting 'across' groups, or when the layer hierarchy is complicated.)

To select, or deselect, multiple individual layers in the Layers Panel you can use Ctrl+click instead.
