XnView: MP 1.9.5 - 64 bit
OS: Linux - 64bit
Wrong images are getting selected with Shift+Arrow key
Effect: Might cause wrong files to get deleted/renamed/whatever
To reproduce:
1. Open a folder with multiple images
2. Press enter on the first image, to display it full-screen
3. Press the PageDown key (or space) twice, to advance (while in full-screen)
4. Press enter (or Escape) to return to the file list
5. Note that the cursor bar is now on image number 3 - as expected.
6. Now press Shift+ArrowDown
7. Images 3+4 are selected. This is as expected - oddly enough, the bug only occurs when you do the same for a second time. So go ahead:
8. Press Home to return to image 1 in the list.
9. Press Enter
10. Press PageDown twice
11. Press enter (or Escape) to return to the file list
12. Cursor bar is on image 3 again - as expected.
13. Now press Shift+ArrowDown again
Actual behaviour (bug): <Current wrong behaviour of XnView> :bug:
Image 1 throughout 4 are selected.
From now on, the bug *always* occurs (steps 9-13).
Expected behaviour: <Expected, correct behaviour of XnView>
Just images 3+4 should be selected.

I just double-checked, it's exactly as I wrote above. I know it's weird and complicated to follow 
Possible ambiguities:
Possible ambiguities:
- I'm talking about the cursor arrow keys, not PageDown.
- When pressing Enter to view the image, I have no images selected (i.e. cursor bar is on one file only), so what I'm getting is the true full-screen view (not that other view that opens a tab)
- During all steps, I don't use the mouse at all, and I don't press any other keys.
- Maybe you need to repeat it more than once?

There you go, I think I found it:
I deleted my xnview.ini (to reset to default), then I could not reproduce it anymore.
I had to change 2 settings to make it reproducible:
