It works in 2.58, I can Shift-click object names in Outliner to select them, but in 2.59 this doesn’t work, only the last clicked object is selected. In the 3D View Shift-selection works. Is this a bug?
LOL… that is funky! Why on earth did they change it so? Anyhow, solved. Thank you.
EDIT: Another LOL, you edited your post, now my reply sounds strange. Like they make bugs up in the Netherlands on purpose! Well maybe they do, to keep us busy…
