This would protect against the case where someone control-selects a lot and then accidentally has an aberrant click.

Tricky to implement for minimal benefit really.

Is there a better place that I could request this feature? I don't know anything about python, but I'm guessing that you use a library that handles which files are selected by the mouse. I could ask them. I have never seen a "undo selection change" because I imagine that usually it is tricky to implement and for minimal benefit. But if the change would be in the library and the feature could be used by a lot of developers, I think it would be tricky to implement and for perhaps a decent-sized benefit.

Hi PGScooter. You're suggesting that the widget itself supports "undo selection change". That's not a bad idea. However I use the deprecated GTKClist widget at the moment. Perhaps you could ask the GTK guys to implement this feature in the treeview widget so I can use it when I move to this newer widget. I'm doubtful that they would think the feature generic enough though.
