Feature or a failure on multiple folder selection from folder pane

I occassionally try to select multiple folders from the folder list (ctrl left-click) on one side of a dual lister wanting to move or copy them to the folder on other side and then instead of what I'm thinking it displays the contents of the 2nd selected folder on the other pane changing the location.

Shouldn't I be able to select multiple folders from the folder pane?

Is this supposed to be a feature or a failure?

Control + doubleclick opens folders in the other file display.

Yes it does but that's slightly different from what I'm doing.

You are probably double clicking by accident.

(Either clicking twice quickly and within a small screen area, or the mouse button’s microswitch is bouncing sometimes.)

(I’m assuming single-click mode isn’t turned on, which changes everything.)
