This is a (mostly) trivial bug discovered on:

system 6.0.7
Finder 6.1.7
MultiFinder 6.0.7
mac II (256k ROM, v376)
~25 INIT/cdev's

This could be a conflict but I've recently noticed that in the Finder
when you're viewing a folder by name:

1) If you select a file near the top of the list it highlights normally.
2) If you then Shift-select a file lower in the list then the originally
    selected filename unhighlights but the file icon remains highlighted.
    The newly selected file highlights normally and both files are really
    selected (i.e. grouped).
3) If you Shift-select subsequent files they all select normally, only the
    original filename unhighlights and only if you do this in the order
    described above.  If you first select a file low in the list and then
    Shift-select a file above it then all works as expected.

Anybody else seen this (am I dreaming ...) ?
