Can't select multiple rows in the Properties dialog anymore

Using the shift key you used to be able to select multiple rows (tag fields) in the Properties dialog. This is was extremely useful for copying multiple tag rows between files. This isn't possible anymore. Why?

That has always been possible to my knowledge, though I almost always use just Ctrl+A to select and copy everything.

Something changed when I updated to 2.13. I updated to 2.24.3 and you still can't select multiple rows with shift or ctrl, but I did discover you can drag to select instead, which you couldn't before. But there's no highlighting so you can't actually see which rows are selected. And you can't pick out specific rows with ctrl like before either. Really odd.

All I can say is that on Windows Ctrl-clicking and Shift-clicking work perfectly. You can even use such selections fully by keyboard by moving the cursor with arrows. And markings are perfectly visible.

Perhaps you should at least mention what OS you are using. Properties dialog has had drawing changes since the dark mode support was added, but that shouldn't affect anything but buggy Wine.

I'm assuming you use Windows version, though the version "2.13" doesn't seem to match any existing version. On Windows there was 2.1.3 and on Mac 2.2.13.

I tried doing a clean install and now it's working as it should. It might be a plugin causing issues.
