  3. the first file is dragging around with a blocked icon

Is not a "feature request", this behavior was normal in previous versions included the 5.0.5 but in the 5.1.0 is broken, I just tested it by downgrading it to version 5.0.5.

  1. keeping pressed the left mouse button and try to select more files

A quick workaround is to click on the first file and then click on the second file while holding shift to select a range of files. Another way is to hold ctrl to select individual files.

I wonder what changed between 5.0.5 and 5.1.0? Qt version? As @ledemon said, this is not a feature request...

Selection as default LMB action was disabled in 5.1 where https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/pull/21569 been merged

I suggested change grab action to alt + LMB because selection is more frequent operation, in my opinion. But it will make grab less usable. Ideally grab should be kept on LMB too

And the question is how to overload LMB

I dont know if it is possible, but could be nice keep the select option for vertical movements and the grab for horizontal ones or long press to grab and press and quick move to select.

Can we at least get drag-selection back on "Add torrent..." popup? Dragging there is useless

Windows Explorer allows you both selecting and dragging depending on some conditions (for example, from where you start dragging, or whether the dragged file was already selected). I wonder if it could be done in qBittorrent in the similar way.
