I haven't been using calibre long enough to be able to provide more specifics.
One thing, I think but I'm not sure, ALL records above the first selected record are erroneously in the selection. |
Ah but you did provide the exact specific I would have guessed. Calibre is working as expected. Let me explain why this is happening to you so you can avoid it.
Say you have book 1 selected (which is selected by default when calibre opens) then scrolled down to book 132, preparing to select 9 books. If you hold the shift key when selecting book 132 keep it held down to select book 140. You may only see books 132 -140 selected in the window but actually all books back to book 1 are selected. This is why it doesn't happen often and seems to be random.
I say this with confidence because I have done this on rare occasions. Since the book view is limited you have to be aware of the books you can't see.
