Comment from upstream:

"I probably should file a separate bug about this, but there are
issues with selection handling when you are in select-multiple-files
mode.

 - Open a multiple-files file selector (evolution insert-attachment say)
   in a directory with subdirectories.
   (The first subdirectory will be selected)
 - Hit C-L and type the name of a file *in that directory*
 - Hit return to close the C-L dialog
 - Both the directory *and* the file will be selected. (But if
   the file is off the first screen, you don't see it is selected)

I don't know if this happens with the 2.9.x inline location bar, but
it makes me think (getting back to the subject of this bug report)
that in select-multiple-files mode the treeview selection should be
adjusted / hacked up so that you can select

 - One folder
 - *Or* multiple files

But if you have a folder selected and try to Control-click a file,
it should deselect the folder, and if you have multiple files selected
and Control-click a folder, it should do nothing. (I think do nothing
is better than unselecting the files)"
