Selecting multiple files

Hi

Previously on my Acer Aspire One which uses Linux I was able to select multiple files when attaching documents to my Gmail email or uploading photos on Facebook etc. It was just a matter of holding down the standard controls (CTRL or SHIFT key - can't remember which).

Now it appears something has changed. Despite holding down either of these keys I can now only select one file at a time and must return to the list of files only after the first file has been selected and uploaded. In addition, I was able to copy/paste the file location ie home\documents\photos\1.jpg into boxes rather than having to click 'browse', wait for all the files to load then manually select that file. I don't appear able to copy/paste the location address anymore?

Thanks in advance.

Just a shot in the dark -- maybe your control key doesn't work (do you use Control-C/Control-V for copy paste?)

 

Thanks although CTRL key is working fine..
