Details:

Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) x86
GCC 4.1.3
base, back (cairo), gui: r26748 

When I click on a browser cell/row to get it selected (no key modifiers
involved) , I often get all the rows/cells above selected in the browser
column. When the selection is wrongly extended like this, I also get no
display of the content of the selected item (a branch cell in this case).
Hence it doesn't look like a display update problem.
Although I get this bug many times a day, I haven't been able to find a way
to reproduce it reliably.
Once the selection is in a wrong state, it's usually difficult to prevent the
bug to repeat on the next clicks either in the same browser or others (if
several browsers are visible on screen together as it can be the case with
Gorm for example). Restarting the running application seems to be the only
reliable workaround.
You can find a Gorm screenshot of the issue in attachment, the bug isn't
Gorm-specific though. In the screenshot, the click was on the last selected
and focused cell.

This bug has been around for a month or more, I got it with previous
revisions too. iirc I also get it with art backend. I didn't report it earlier
because I hoped to figure out a reliable way to reproduce it :-/
